Reader for Pocket PC
I’ve been using WM5 for about a month now. Generally I’m pleased with it. I expected some software would not play well. I’m still waiting for Sprite or someone else to update a backup program.
Also HP Mobile printing is missing. No fault of Microsoft. Read below.
One curious thing though, today I found out I cannot activate Microsoft Reader for WM5 on my hx2755. Microsoft says its an issue with iPAQ and that they are working on a solution. Oh well All the really important stuff works fine so I’m not going to downgrade.
Here is what HP has to say about HP Mobile printing. P.S. I haven’t installed it yet from my old disk so I do not know if it will fly with WM5.
“Since 1992, HP has been committed to delivering a high-quality, complete printing experience for customers using mobile devices. Because customers can use similar mobile printing software offerings (see list, below) that are compatible with Pocket PC and Windows Mobile OS platforms, HP has decided to focus on other areas of its mobile printing and imaging strategy where solutions may not be so readily available. As a result, HP will discontinue HP Mobile Printing for Pocket PC and HP Mobile Printing SDK for Pocket PC, effective October 1, 2005. Any current customers / developers may receive basic phone support for six months thereafter, with all support for these products ending on April 1, 2006.”
