Mobility Site - View Single Post - What if next PPC (v2003) won't fit (32mb ROM)?

Hi all,
I ordered a 300mhz since the 16-bit bus can't really benefit from the extra mhz. Now I am wondering about the ROM. I've read about the expected 2003 version of Pocket PC software. It will be based on WinCE .NET 4.x code - which has some features I really want (like OS-controlled landscape mode).
My question is: will I be prevented from upgrading to 2003 if it comes out larger than the 32mb ROM I have? I thought I read somewhere that suggested certain apps could be either installed to RAM or left out altogether so that the OS could fit into the ROM space. Am I bonkers?
