I've got a Axim 400 (PXA250) and was wondering if I should upgrade to PPC 2003 or should I wait ?
Am quite happy with 2002 but would like to see if it would run faster, as a few people have mentioned as I use mine mainly for GPS
And I love upgrading :D
Do you think it's worth it, £23 and delivery seems to be fairly quick (I hope)

I upgraded my Axim 400 (PXA250) with WM2003 yesterday and there is very little noticable speed differences. There

The only good thing I found was the change on context type searching of contacts.

I wouldn't "buy" this upgrade.

it's 29 bucks. Whether it's worth it is up to you. Once the WM2k3 only programs begin to make their appearance, you'll suddenly see things in a different light and wish you had upgraded. M$ will make sure of that. The differences in architecture are considerable, and Win CE.NET is really a lot more powerful than Win CE 3.0 (on which PPC2k2 is based).
On a more practical approach, the Dell implementation is still not quite up to par with their competition.

Because you're a tech zealot who always has to have the latest and greatest ;)
Or because you're working with 802.11 networks and could really use a standardized way to communicate with WLAN NICs. NDIS 4.0 has not wireless support and consequently, every manufacturer did things differently which makes it a major pain in the ass for any programmer trying to work with that stuff.

I'm in the process of sorting out a Wireless network for home, main computer, Laptop (might be 2) and the Axim
So you think it'd be worth upgrading ????

Yes, upgrade to 2003, it is faster than 2002 even on the PXA-250. Multimedia has been improved, I can play SNES roms at a playable rate now, even the built-in apps load faster. Most developers have been releasing updates for their software to be 2003 compatable too.
