The skinny on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition

CNet has a little roundup of four new Pocket PCs running on the new Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition operating system, Dell's Axim X30, HP's iPAQ hx4700 (pictured at right) and rx3715, and the MyPal A730 from ASUS (they even through the Motorola MPx220 in there for good measure, since it does run on Windows Mobile 2003 SE, just on the Smartphone version). Not a major overhaul of the Pocket PC OS, but it does add a few nice features to the mix like the ability to switch between portrait and landscape modes (which was way overdue), better wireless security, and support for a wider variety of screen resolutions. Not exactly a great leap forward, but there's still plenty of grumbling about how HP and Dell won't offer upgrades to this latest version for owners of older Pocket PCs.
