I like the bit at the end...

Just because the license is free doesn't mean manufacturers won't charge the consumer. Customizing Windows Mobile 6 for each device is still a lot of work.

But does that mean we'll see updates issued for Dell Axim or HP iPaq models anytime soon? I wouldn't hold my breath. But it's possible.
It is possible, but is it worth the work involved? I'll admit the WinCE 6 core adds some nice features but I can't see them just giving it away.

We have reliable information that Microsoft is charging everybody for license of Windows Mobile 6 - also existing vendors. Some of these vendors purchased Windows Mobile 5.0 with option for Windows Mobile 6 but it was in no way free.

I am gonna say no, but I don't want to get your hopes down.

However, Dell is discontinuing the Axims (at least according to that front page news a while ago), so I doubt they will.
