Axim X30 Firmware Update: Windows Media Player 10 Included!
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "SOFTWARE" @ 06:00 AM
Elliott Thornton just sent us an email to say that Dell have released the Axim X30 A05 ROM update. You can get it at the Dell website. It includes various enhancements to the SDIO Bus driver, Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity etc. The big news however, is that apparently it also contains the latest version of Windows Media Player 10 for Pocket PC. So it looks like you won't have to buy a new device after all to get hold of WMP10. :D I wonder how long it will take the other Manufacturers to update their ROMs to include it.... :wink: Have any of you guys had a chance to play with WMP10 on your PPCs yet? What do you think of it and how does it stack up to the other media players out there?
Edit: Gwinter helpfully pointed out that on the official Windows Media player Mobile contains the following snippet:
"How do I get Player 10 Mobile?
Two devices are preloaded: Audiovox SMT-5600 and Dell Axim X50
To be upgraded soon: HP iPAQ rx 3000 series and Dell Axim X30"
We'll see who else follows thier lead. :)
