Smartphones and the Pocket PC
•The pocket PC has come a long way since the first model was introduced in the 1980s. The original iPAQ Pocket PCS were very basic, even though later models added the ability to see a single line of text. That is nothing compared to the newest models, which let you browse the internet, schedule appointments and allow you to send and receive documents, all while being away from the office.
•The pocket PC is also known as a Personal Digital Assistant, or PDA. The previous versions ran on Windows Mobile 5, but have since upgraded to Windows Mobile 6. Windows Mobile 5 was a great relief to PDA owners. In previous versions, if the battery ran dead, then all information would be lost. Mobile 5 eliminated this by storing the information on a flash drive. The handhelds software also improved with version 6, with advanced capabilities, more storage and a feature that allows the PDA to act as a Smartphone.
