Hi Joseph and All, I really do appreciate your explanations here; however, I'm kind of getting a bit confused with the Microsoft numbering/labeling of things, and want to make sure what I think I'm understanding is correct.
So, are you able to tell me if what I'm thinking is right? I'm thinking that Windows Mobile 6.0 is powered by Windows CE 5.0 V 5.2. I'm also thinking that you're suggesting that the mPower, and possibly the PK, should at some point upgrade to Windows CE Version 6.0? And, guess this is really what I'm trying to confirm, meaning I'm thinking that Windows CE 6.0 isn't out yet, and isn't expected till early in 2008? Am I understanding all this correctly?

This upgrade is essentially same as Windows CE 4.21, except that you'll get some Bluetooth enhancements and introduction of faster Global Search through Windows Live search on the device. A major improvement in CE 5.0 and subsequent versions of CE is usage of Flash as main storage space versus using part of the RAM as "RAM Disk" to store data, thereby allowing two things to happen: the RAM will solely be used for running programs and you don't have to worry about losing your files because all of your files (including system files) are stored in Flash. Other than that, I don't see any differences between Windows CE 4.x and 5.0. In my opinion, though, for the benefit of the list and to stay ahead of competition, it would be best to upgrade to CE 6.0 even though it is risky. You'll need to basically start from scratch due to the redesigned operating system and so forth. And besides, CE 6.0 contains numerous enhancements found in CE 5.0, so it would be beneficial to upgrade to CE 6J rather than 5.0.
