I've been running The PDA Guy at its own domain for a few years now. It's where I shoot the breeze about those funky little devices that nerds hid in their pockets.

Today, PDAs are everywhere - restaurants, parking inspectors, boardrooms. Today, they're called smartphones and everyone's got one. I'll tell you what's hot, what's new and give you lowdown on what's coming.

Got a current iPAQ, want WM 6.1 - too bad

Continuing their tradition of not offering even minor OS upgrades to Windows Mobile users, the story comes from Brighthand that current, in-store iPAQs will not be getting an update from Windows Mobile 6 to version 6.1.

From Brighthand:

This decision comes after having evaluated the potential for delays in firmware and software updates, device recertification, and carry-over costs to our customers that are often associated with an operating system upgrade.

Well - that sucks but I guess it's not surprising. You'd think that a company the size of HP could do this but it seems that it's all too hard.
