Re: IPAQ, CF & PCMCIA

["Mark McCall" <mark@xxxxxxx>]

In fairness I have upgraded my iPAQ's firmware twice now (1.69 and 1.77). That's the type of upgrade I had assumed I could do.  I was not expecting I could flash it to the _next generation_ of OS though so this is a bonus, however limited.

 

The way things are going a current iPAQ is gonna look very dated even by this time next year.  Sell to a mate Tim and buy the new one! :-)

Actually, I've just re-read the article, and I'm pissed off this time. It really smacks of the "We'll sell you a device based on its upgradeability, but when you upgrade half of the really useful facilities won't be there". I get the impression that the features will be pulled not for technical, but for marketing reasons. That's the bit that makes me cross.

 

I'm going to scream and scream until I'm sick.

I'm not upset at all.  You gotta expect that type of thing.  Point is it's still upgradeable if you want.  Most other PDAs aren't.  No reason not to install other apps in the main memory either, like you have to do with the latest Media Player anyway!

 

Some early iPAQs also have 32 meg ROM I believe (Li?) as 16 meg ROM chips were in such short supply.

I have read there will be a standard and advanced (something like that) version of Merlin, designed for 16 and 32 meg machines respectively.  Dunno if this means their RAM or ROM though?

 

Certainly does seem that flash upgradeable machines like iPAQ will be able to get the new OS.

Thanks Mark.

Now I just have to resist buying one for the moment and wait for the new version & hopefully the prices will drop.

 

Does anyone know if it will be possible to upgrade an old IPAQ with the new MS Pocket PC version that is out soon?

Yep...this is no problem.  This is how I use my Micro Drive in the iPAQ.

I am thinking of getting an IPAQ but was wondering if there is any reason
why I could not
use a PCMCIA to CF adapter so I only have to buy a PCMCIA sleeve but can
still use CF cards.
Anyone tried this?

Cheers

Justin
