I'd agree, I think that based on the ROM version number and the nature of the PPC OS Dell will probably only work on WM2003 updates from now on. The reasons being:

a) PPC 2002 is pretty much, as far as I know, nearly bug free (or at least as bug free as Dell would be likely to make it).

b) PPC 2003 has some performance characteristics, and benefits that will make 2002 completely obsolete once they mature a bit.

Add to this that from now on all new Axim owners will be getting WM 2003 and that in a few months they will surpass the number of PPC 2002 owners, and that leaves Dell with little incentive to upgrade 2002 (unless a really big flaw was to be found in 2002 that would be completely Dell's fault).
