Eric Kepes' crummy little weblog RSS 2.0

So, my dear old Dell Axim is obsolete (ok, maybe it was obsolete when I bought it :)). It's an X5 I purchased back in February of 2003, and it came with PocketPC 2002 as the OS. Dell briefly offered an upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003, but at the time, it just wasn't worth $30 to me - my X5 worked fine, and did what I needed it to do. I could write code for it using the lastest tools (VS 2003), and I was happy.

So, I finally got around to installing the beta of VS2005 at home, and I finally figured out what I was going to monkey with to see how the new features stacked up - time to do a little work on mobile development. Except, I just discovered - CF 2.0 doesn't run on PPC 2002.

And Dell, in their infinite wisdom, doesn't sell the upgrade CD anymore. Or offer any way to get it, like perhaps a download. And I just don't use my Axim enough to justify replacing it with another $400 PDA (at least, not until I'm ready for a new cell phone, and Verizon offers some decent products - not that I don't enjoy my Motorola v710, but...).

So, does anybody know of a place where I can buy the upgrade? I tried eBay, but that just didn't work.
