No latest Windows Mobile support (Magneto) for JAM from imate

I sent a request to i-mate support asking if they are going to release a ROM for the JAM to upgrade the operating system to the latest version.

I thought they would do this because they are good at releasing ROMs with patches and fixes for the JAM but it looks like they will not be releasing a upgrade and instead use the new OS to drive sales of their newer devices. Pity.

Here is the transcript of my conversation...

You're now talking to Amal from 'Device Support' The topic is : Windows Mobile 5.0 support for JAM


Amal> Welcome to club i-mate support. My name is Amal, how can I help you today?
Amal> Hi Thwere ,,,
Amal> how may i help you?
Craig> Hi Amal
Amal> Hi Craig,
Craig> I was wondering if there will be a new ROM released for the JAM that supports the new Pocket PC OS, Windows Mobile 5.0 which Microsoft recently released
Amal> The launch of Microsoft® Windows Mobile 5.0 is great news for the i-mateT community as this more extensible platform will allow us to provide innovative new products more e asily than ever before and further enhance the i-mateT customer-centric experience.
Craig> I would expect your new devices to use it ok, but will the JAM also support it, perhaps by releasing a new upgradable ROM build
Amal> We need several months to add combine additional elements, such as the radio and Bluetooth hardware and software, we require to produce fully integrated PDA's and Smartphones. We will be launching some exciting new products that run on Windows Mobile 5.0 later in the year. We have made an assessment of our current devices and it is unlikely that current products will run Windows Mobile 5.0.
