"Dell will offer a Windows Mobile version 5.0 software upgrade for the Dell Axim X50 handheld family later this year. The new software is expected to enable users to take advantage of several new productivity and multimedia enhancements, like updated Microsoft Office programs and Direct3D Mobile support. It also supports persistent storage capability, helping to protect against the loss of personal data and applications when batteries discharge completely."
No word yet on pricing or if it will be free to those that buy an X50 after a certain date. The upgrade CD is expected to ship in the third quarter of 2005. If you have been holding off waiting for Microsoft's new OS and like the X50 line, there is now no reason not to go ahead and jump on board.
