Pocket PCs and "Pocket Windows" a.k.a "Windows CE" (Windows Compact
Edition) a.k.a. "WinCE" a.k.a "Windows Mobile" only <b>look </b>
more-or-less like Windows.<br>
<br>
Pocket PCs use one of several kinds of CPUs and system architectures
that are totally different from the standard Intel or AMD-based PCs
that run regular Windows. No normal Window applications will run on
the Pocket PC/Windows Mobile platform. <br>
<br>
Given that:<br>
<br>
1) Stand-alone PDA-type devices (either Windows Pocket PC or
Palm-based) are rapidly being supplanted by smart phones as all-purpose
portable computing/communications devices.<br>
<br>
2) Microsoft has tried repeatedly to recycle the
not-terribly-successful Pocket PC cum Windows CE cum Windows CE
(Phone Edition) cum Windows Mobile (their market-droids keep renaming
the thing in the hope that it will finally take off), and is now
positioning it as a mobile phone operating system. <br>
<br>
3) Acceptance of Windows Mobile is running far behind other mobile
phone operating systems (particularly the iPhone's cut-down version of
the Unix-based Mac OS, the Linux-based Google Android phone OS, Nokia's
various OS'es and various others derived from the royalty-free Linux.).<br>
<br>
As a result, I would not hold my breath expecting a great outpouring of
new development for WinCE a.k.a. Windows Mobile.<br>
