By the sounds of it, the $29 upgrade will get you a Pocket PC. Of course we'll have to wait until the release date and see for sure.

holy cow. If the upgrade is eligible... Awww yeah!!!

Im am willing to bet no it isnt eligible. Hence why the three that word in there. It would make me think they are talking about one of the regualr upgrade packages MS usually provides.
