First Pocket PC 2003 Details Surface

[ctitanic]

does this mean that eVB application will run in the new PPC2003?

That's what i got from the article.

Ok, after reading this thread I discovered many statements that are not exactly true, so I would like to clarify things a little bit:

Pocket PC 2003 is based on Windows Ce.Net 4.1

It won't be a major upgrade, I would call it an evolution, not a revolution...

It will offer Bluetooth Support, WLan Support, Landscape Mode and quite a few surprises that I unfortunately cannot publish at the moment...

ActiveSync v3.7 will be offered with new PPC2k3 Devices and will support the new OS... AS 3.7 is currently in beta..


Please do not ask me how I know all that...

Yeh, but what about existing users? Has the Microsoft Handheld Upgrade Treadmill started again?

As far as I know, there will be an upgrade for 32MB ROM devices to the new OS...

PPC2K3 is fully compatible with PPC2k2...

Jornada 568?

Backwards and forwards?

This does not answer my question about eVB.

If AS 3.7 is to be bundled with PPC 2003 devices and AS 3.7 is only in beta, that would indicate that PPC 2003 won't be out for quite a while longer.

LoL, that's just what I was about to ask you

Well I'll take your word for it, since you have offered the best mental picture yet of PPC2003 and basically that's what i wanted to hear. We'll all see soon enough anyway. If you are right, then PPC2003 might just be worth the upgrade.

AFAIK, eVB apps should still be able to run under PPC 2003, but VB.NET, C#.NET, and embedded Visual C++ would be the preferred development platforms.
