When Windows Mobile 5.0 will be avaiable for download and update for hx4700


Regards

I would say sometime in August. HP has to do their tweaks as well as internal testing.

oh ((((((((
to bad

thx!

It will be possibile to have it on a h3950?

No chance at all. The hardware itself will not support the new functions of the OS, mainly the memory management.

Yes I know...
I was joking...
For now I can't change to a newer model...
Anyway... which HP iPAQ will be upgradable?

Hi Menkaure. See this thread for more info:

"HP will offer Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrades for the HP iPAQ hx2100, hx2400, hx2700 and hx4700 series of handhelds. These software upgrades are expected to be available this summer and can be purchased directly from HP."

I understood that it'd be an upgrade marketed on a CD not downloadable???

It most likely will be a CD. That's a good way for HP to control things.

I remember Dell had an upgrade for the X5 that was downloadable and for some reason everyone was able to get it for free. Don't remember the exact circumstances but you had to get the upgrade on CD after that.

yea it was posted as a rom update by mistake in addition to the supposedly secret download location... something like that... i had to order it on a cd.

looking at most of your sigs you are all in the US but i am in "sunny" ole England so how do you think HP will be migrating me over to wm5. Obviously you lot in the US will get your copies before i do over here but I just hope they dont take too long about getting it done for us brits

Hi ukbilleh. There was a post yesterday that indicated HP would come out with the English upgrade first, followed by other languages sometime afterwards. I know we're "two countries seperated by a common language" but I would think there will be only one English upgrade out there.

swhoutx035...I was thinking the same thing. When the English version comes out, England/British could get theirs too. Either way...us over here in USA will be the ones testing the "beta" version...LOL...considering it won't have been run in an operational environment.

That's how it always happens...send out a new piece of software...it crashes millions of devices...company fixes problems and releases all other languages fixed. LOL

Well I'll be waiting for support for Colour devices before I upgrade
