This page has already changed today - the "new" star next to the bluetooth printing directions was taken down sometime in the past few hours, so I suspect the new ROM image link will be up soon. According to the PCN updates you can sign up for from Compaq, the ROM is ready to go and will feature the following fixes and enhancements:
• ClearType Enhancements: When using MS Reader and setting it for ClearType Fonts, text appearance may be very hard to read.
• Virtual Memory Improvement: Operating System may be sluggish when multiple applications are open.
• SD Format Resolution: SD Cards formatted with FAT12 may not be recognized.
• Reminder LED Resolution: LED will not flash more than 5 minutes.
• Screen Calibration Diagnostics Test: Self Calibration test may display a ‘failed’ message because the test parameters were too sensitive.
• Cradle/Battery Gauge Resolution: A fully charged iPAQ Pocket PC that has been on A/C power in excess of 24 hours may show a decreased battery gauge when removed from the charger.
• Lock-up During Boot Resolution
• Backlight User Interface Update
• Bluetooth Manager v1.1
Many of these are already available as RAM patches, like the Bluetooth 1.1 manager, but others are new.
