Just my personal opinion, but:
Most newsgroups have a charter and/or FAQ that should define whether
"ads" are allowed. I must admit I haven't read the charter for this
group.
The next question is, "Is this an ad or a 'new product announcement'?"
I personally think 'new product announcements' are OK, as long as they
don't come too often from a single company. Many times newsgroup
charters will permit new product announcements, but not ads. (It has
taken me about 30 minutes to write this message, since I have just
spent that much time trying to find the Microsoft newsgroups charters.
On the Microsoft site their "Rules of Conduct" link for newsgroups is
broken.)
With regards to the above product, apparently the author announces
"new versions" for each minor upgrade. Personally I think that may be
a bit much, unless there are several months between versions. I don't
mind a message every 6 months or so, as long as they benefit the
group.
Just my personal opinion.

Its permitted, otherwise the MVP's would have out a stop to it.
There are a lot of PocketDOS users out there, and most of the Windows CE
news and info sites carry update releases. Update releases are beneficial
for everyone.
FYI, microsoft.public.windowsce was deleted about 2 years ago

Sure. Once per product release or update, on topic, to a small number
of relevant groups, preferably crossposted.
There was one posted recently that you could use as a model. Some kind
of emulator for the Pocket PC.
