But I have not been following this.

Nope, that's most likely a screengrab from a XOOM running the leaked image. Note the quicklink (or whatever it's called) buttons at the bottom of the screen.

And yes, it did sound to me like they were just showing it off and making some official statements about it. Hopefully one of those is a release date for Q2 2005.

Dell to Offer Windows Mobile 5.0 Upgrade for Axim X50 Handheld Family

Dell will offer a Windows Mobile version 5.0 software upgrade for the Dell AximTM X50 handheld family later this year.

The new software is expected to enable users to take advantage of several new productivity and multimedia enhancements, like updated Microsoft Office programs and Direct3D Mobile support. It also supports persistent storage capability, helping to protect against the loss of personal data and applications when batteries discharge completely.

Dell Axim X50 customers will be able to purchase the upgrade, expected to ship during the third quarter, on compact disc. Microsoft Corp. previewed the next-generation mobile software today at its annual Mobile & Embedded DevCon (MEDC) 2005 in Las Vegas.

Introduced in November 2002, Dell Axim products are recognized for combining robust features, including Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® wireless capability and brilliant color displays, with outstanding prices. Dell Axim Handhelds help users stay organized, productive, connected and entertained while on the move1.
