This white paper talks about Pocket PC, which is the blurring of the lines between Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and cell phones. There are devices that are only PDAs, those that are PDA form factors with cellular communication built in, and cell phones that run Windows CE. So which is which and how much to these devices have in common? The Pocket PC 2003 device is an evolution of the original Pocket PC device released in April of 2000. The operating system is now Windows CE 4.2 instead of Windows CE 3.0, and there have been a handful of new functions added to support user features such as the shell notification interface, but all in all it?s the same system albeit with a much more robust operating system under the covers. The chief difference the user will notice is the new, smaller and yet more powerful hardware that has changed over the last few years. Now devices may have built in wireless networking or Bluetooth personal area networking or may have neither but be significantly smaller or less expensive.
