Agreed. Either way, it's a bit difficult to buy something not planned for
release until 2009.

I really mentioned it as more of a "look how long it takes to get MS off
it's duff" than a purchase suggestion. Unlike with desktops or laptops,
Windows Mobile devices don't get upgrades to new OS levels from MS- they
come from the device manufacturer who has to customize them for each model,
so it's no guarantee (or even a likelyhood) that a WM 6.1 device will ever
see a WM7 upgrade.
