Dell Axim 2003 Patch Available
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "HARDWARE" @ 03:06 PM
Dell has released the patch for the 2003 devices. This should fix the slowdowns that have been reported. It is just over 29MB, so get your broadband ready. This will not install on a 2002 device, so don't try. Don't reply telling you've hacked it either so it will install on a 2002 device. We don't support stolen software. :D
You can download here.
Update: No you can't. It seems it has been pulled temporarily. :? Just subscribe to this thread. I am sure one of our faithful readers will reply when it is back up.
Update 2: Here is the official word from Dell, according to one of our members, on why the patch was pulled.
• First, nothing is wrong with the fix itself. It accomplishes what we wanted. (So, if you've applied it, you are good to go.)
• Unfortunately, we are getting reports that some people with PPC02 have discovered a way to hack into the fix and obtain an unlicensed upgrade to PPC03.
• We are pulling the fix temporarily and will provide a more targeted distribution via of it to the customers who were truly affected by our PPC03 performance issue. As planned, we will begin proactively mailing a CD version of the fix beginning within two to three weeks.
:roll: Takes a few jerks to ruin it for the rest of us.
