I just got in an AXIM A5 400MHz with PPC2003. This was a replacement for my wife's AXIM A5 400MHz with PPC2002 that I got her last December, but was recently stolen. She uses it mainly for PIM stuff and listening to MP3s.
The PPC2003 improvements are not very impressive, except for the networking features. My wife currently does not have a WiFi card and has little interest in one ( yet ! ). For PPC2003 : Media Player still sucks. I have tried WinamPAQ and it works but seems flakey, I get some strange charcacters displayed randomly. I hope they release a 2003 version soon. The new picture viewer application is pretty lame compared to freeware like DAVA.
For my AXIM A5 400MHz PPC2002 I have ordered the PPC2003 upgarde CD ( really should have been on an ftp site !! ) and I am looking forward to the network features of PPC2003. I have a Netgear MA701 CF 802.11b nd a Pharos PE-CF100 NIC for conneting to RJ45. I have had problems keeping my network settings straight in different apps while using PPC2002. The new OS seems like they do a good job of keeping seperate network profiles straight. I look forward to testing it someday when Dell deceides to ship my PPC2003 cds. I'm currently running Pocket WiNc and Airscanner, a bunch of the vx applications, Netrunner, vnc, yada, yada, yada. I will download anything once, twice if I like it :) Can't wait for for someone to port Nmap to the pocket pc or *nix for the AXIM.
Please let me know what features besides the networking improvements you like that I may have overlooked. Thanks.
