Dell To Offer AximX50v Upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0

[Digby]

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.

I just found this:



has anybody tested it? I'm interested in moving my x50 into wm5 but I'd prefer to read experiences about the move ;)

I'll be installing it on my X50v as soon as Dell sends it to me. I've gotten reports that my PocketFrog games pop up a message box when exiting on the X51v, but they don't do that in WM2003/2003SE, and I can't replicate the error in the emulator or a PC build.
