No Windows Mobile 2003 Upgrade

[Ed Hardy]

HP's FAQ on the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade says:

Why did HP decide not to offer an upgrade for the Jornada product line?

The Jornada 928 is the only Jornada product still being offered by HP, as other models have already completed their normal product lifecycle. This product is based on Microsoft's Pocket PC Phone Edition software. However, since this product will be completing its product lifecycle this year, HP has chosen not to offer additional upgrades or refreshes.

Same party line HP offered about a WM2003SE upgrade for the h2200s.

Well, they already know that if people want it badly enough, people will pay for the shiny new toys. Why divert resources away from competitive cutting-edge new product development just to make the wheel a little rounder for the customers who've already paid in full?
