The latter. In fact, the app we're using was designed for an even earlier version of the OS, though which I don't know. The company we use just patches it from time to time. This part of the wikipedia ipaq article worries me:
Quote:
In December 2009, HP released the iPAQ Glisten, running on Windows Mobile 6.5. As of April 2011, no new models have been announced. HP continues to advertise the 111 series and the Glisten on its website, however. As such, the status and fate of the iPAQ line is vastly unclear.
With ipaq's future uncertain, I hope they are already working on moving the software to something more current. Does ipad support printing over wifi? That would be a logical next step for it, assuming Apple even allows enterprise apps. There's always android honeycomb too.
