... this mean, i can do anything but using this device like GPS and/or MP3 player !

My question IS: CAN I UPGRADE OS to Windows CE 2003, 2003SE or Windows CE 5.0 ... or - should i start browsing eBay for some decent PDA ...


Best regards ...

Well, just because you can't upgrade to a full WM, you can still change stuff like MP3player, add programs and games etc... (like described here (http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=147))
