Yeah, talented vs. untalented is probably more appropriate.

I probably should have started my post off saying "I'd like to think that Dell is working on A06."

Yes, Dell's track record on this isn't the greatest, but I guess I'm still hoping they'll come through in the end. I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised if they announce in a week or so that PPC 2002 -> WM2003 upgrades have been cancelled and are no longer supported.

I'm sure that if the R&D and tech support costs from WM2003 upgrades that are probably already stacking up clearly begin to outweigh what are probably marginal benefits to Dell of keeping their older customers happy, then that's probably what they'd do.

I'm also not to sure that would bother me that much anymore (aside from the fact that I would be mad at Dell for backing out of their commitment) with all of the poor compatibility reports that I keep hearing about with WM2003. The more I think about it the more PPC 2002 seems to be absolutely fine for the time being (the whole 'if it ain't broke' phenomenon), I could always just wait and get WM2003 on my next handheld by which time it would probably be mature anyway. The only feature I'm really looking forward to anyway is practical wifi support and a faster PIE. Wifi support in PPC 2002 feels like a bit of an afterthought.
