Probably the max size for a String is 2^31-1 (2,147,483,647) bytes so it is essentially unlimited in practice.

of up-to-date (6.90-compatible) additional libraries

As far as I know all of my libraries are 6.90 compatible. If you find any that are not I can make them so, but only for desktop use as I have updated my computers to Windows 7 and switched to Visual Studio 2010 which cannot compile for the Compact Framework.

The new edition could also be focused on desktop applications, since there seems to be more life and perspective in this direction today.

That would appear to be so with the demise of Windows Mobile. Regrettably I don't think that the target audience is large enough to warrant the time that would be required to rework the book. However Basic4ppc lives on for me for desktop use.
