Microsoft has a habit of releasing Pocket PC versions every 18 months, give or take a few. That means one is due around March 2003. And according to that same Smartphone article I just posted about, MS is on time. "Looking ahead, Microsoft plans to release an updated version of the Windows Powered Smartphone software along with an updated version of its Pocket PC software. Scheduled to ship during the first quarter of 2003, both products will be based on a new Windows CE operating system kernel that will ship at the same time, rather than the Windows CE 3.0 kernel that is used in Windows Powered Smartphone 2002 and Pocket PC 2002, Cazzaro said."
See that folks? Not Windows CE 3.0. And not CE 4.0 either. This looks like Macallan, also known as Windows CE 5.0!
