Upgrading PDAs to Windows Mobile 2003 / Windows Mobile 5.0

Is it possible to upgrade PDAs with Windows CE or Pocket PC 2002 software to
a more recent operating system like Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile
5.0? Specifically, I have the following PDAs which I wish to upgrade:

1. Casio Casseiopia E 115
2. HP Jornada 560 Series
3. HP Ipaq 5455

Any hints/suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

For Windows CE, and platforms like Pocket PC based on it, upgrades are
entirely up to the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for each
device. That means you are dependent on Casio and HP. Upgrades aren't
common, especially for older devices.

I just used google (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to
look up
jornada 560 upgrade
and got 89 hits. I took a quick look and wasn't encouraged.

I also looked up
casio e115 upgrade
and got 362 hits. This time the news was more explicitly bad.

And
Ipaq 5455 upgrade
got 134 hits. Again the news is not good.
