iPAQ HP3870 - upgrade

Hi,

I was recently given a second hand Compaq iPAQ HP3870 (Bluetooth version),
running Windows CE3.0.

Upgrades to PPC2003 are no longer available from HP and I am wondering
whether or not it is possible to upgrade the OS on my device. I have found
instructions on the net for upgrading from PPC2002 to PPC2003 and wonder
whether this would work and take me straight from CE3.0 to PPC2003?

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks,

Tim

yes - you can upgrade to PPC2003 - you might find this on EBay.

As Laura has pointed out, the only way to get it (hopefully - make sure you
get a legal copy as there're a lot of illegal copies in there) legally is
eBay.
