I've never owned a PDA when a new OS rolled out. But my understanding is that MS releases the update to the vendors (Dell, HP, etc). Each of these companies then tweeks the OS for their devices (an HP update will not work on Dell, etc). This is Dell's first attempt at an OS upgrade for the Axim, much like the Axim was its first attempt at a PPC. Whereas HP and other manufacturers have been thru this a few times and have more experience in these matters. Basically, they know what they are doing already and Dell is learning as they go. At least that is my take on things.
