Hi Mike, The kernel is basically the centre, if you like, of the operating system. The version number is for our reference internally. However, the date and time that is shown is not when your BrailleNote had the image programmed, but rather, the date on which we built Windows CE down here in New Zealand.
Therefore, users should only see this change when upgrading to a new ROM image. The hardware revision is also primarily for our internal reference and refers to the board type. For example, the original BrailleNote boards that did not contain the compactflash slot are known as rev (revision) e, whereas the newer board is rev H. As the mPower is using a different set of boards, you will have a rev C board.
