Gregh from Pocket PC Soft.NET informed us that Compaq has pre-announced a ROM update for the iPAQ 3800 series, to become available on June 15, 2002. These are the details Greg sent us:
Details of change:
Enhancements and Fixes:
ClearType Enhancements: When using MS Reader and setting it for ClearType Fonts, text appearance may be very hard to read.
Virtual Memory Improvement: Operating System may be sluggish when multiple applications are open.
SD Format Resolution: SD Cards formatted with FAT12 may not be recognized.
Reminder LED Resolution: LED will not flash more than 5 minutes.
Screen Calibration Diagnostics Test: Self Calibration test may display a 018failed%u2019 message because the test parameters were too sensitive.
Cradle/Battery Gauge Resolution: A fully charged iPAQ Pocket PC that has been on A/C power in excess of 24 hours may show a decreased battery gauge when removed from the charger.
Lock-up During Boot Resolution
Backlight User Interface Update
Bluetooth Manager v1.1

This seems to show that the RAM updates that were released lately are intermediate solutions, to be address in one big ROM based update. If that is true, that is good news. Now let's just hope that they won't stop looking into that Bluetooth stack loading problem, and have that done at the same time!
