Microsoft Preps New Handheld OS
"The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant will debut Pocket PC 2003--code-named Ozone--on June 23, according to sources close to the company. The operating system is not expected to be a major revision of Pocket PC 2002, but it will include new features such as built-in support for wireless technologies Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The OS overhaul will occur in the next version of the operating system, code-named Magneto, due out next year. Microsoft representatives declined to comment.
Hewlett-Packard and Gateway are both expected to announce new products using Pocket PC 2003. Gateway, a newcomer to the handheld market, confirmed that it will release a midrange device using the OS on June 23."
Drip. Drip. Leak. Leak. :roll:

You're going to have to wait and see. I wish I could say more, but until a certain date on the calendar, I can't. :|

Can't anyone give any comments besides little emoticon responses?
I'm still looking forward to this, I don't care if it looks the same, all I care is that it works better. Connection Mangler's demise I'm looking forward to, and the fact it's better in a wireless setting now is even better.

The unfortunate reality is that anyone who has a Pocket PC 2003 device is under an NDA and can't talk about it, so there's only muttering and speculation about what the heck the new OS really *is*. Patience, and all will be revealed - I promise. :way to go:

But the interesting thing about all this is that Jason (more than anyone else) cautions against the belief that PPC 2k3 is only a "minor upgrade".
In other words, Jason is saying perhaps the only thing he can say: expect to be surprised. Which I think is probably the very best news we could hear.

no real surprises
No real surprises.
For the real curious: You can download the 2003 emulator along with the SDK to see the real changes right now.
