  PocketPC Hands-on Review
I had the good fortune on 19 April to be at Comdex in Chicago the day Microsoft released their new PocketPC line, and had the chance to play with some of their new devices.
PocketPC is Microsoft's name for their new version 3.0 of the Windows CE OS, designed for "consumer" devices.
PocketPC, like all previous versions of CE, lets you easily change how much of the system is dedicated to "active" programs and how much is left for "storage." Programs are copied from "storage" RAM to "active" RAM to run, and then stay there until closed, just like a hard disk vs. RAM on a PC.

 Windows CE Networking Team WebLog : MSMQ on the PocketPC
It's very cool for say a delivery man who has a PocketPC and is away from the network all day out on his rounds, then docks the PPC at the end of the day to some network connection.
Because MS knows MSMQ is a cool feature for PocketPC's, we enable this scenario through slightly different means.
PocketPC 2003 was built on CE 4.2 and also shipped MSMQ in the SDK.

 GameDev.net -- PocketPC: An Introduction
As you can see, the PocketPC machines are all more expensive than the Palms, but the capabilities of the PocketPC's are disproportionately greater.
Thankfully, switching between one approach and another is as simple as choosing the target processor on the toolbar and recompiling.

PocketPC Phone Edition is the first device designed specifically to run the mobile phone-enabled edition of Microsoft's PocketPC 2002.

Asus sent us a MyPal a620 prior to the launch outfitted with the new PocketPC 2003 edition and we’ll be evaluating it in the next few pages to see what new features PocketPC 2003 brings to the table and how well Asus has implemented them on their PocketPC.
The first major improvement is better support for WiFi, in PocketPC 2002 it could be a rather adventurous undertaking to get a wireless network connection up and running.
Standards that are now available in PocketPC 2003 are XHTML, CSS, HTML 4.0, JavaScript 5.5, WAP 2.0, WTLS, IPv6 and many more, which makes the PocketPC web browser compatible with the vast majority of websites found on the internet and intranets which often use some of the more exotic protocols.

This article is going to explore what exactly is Windows CE, what this PocketPC thing is, some of the technical aspects that make it the finest platform for handheld gaming available today, and how to get started developing for one.
While Windows CE is not locked into any particular form-factor and is capable of running on anything from embedded microcontrollers to cell-phones, two main form-factors have become predominant, the Handheld PC and the PocketPC.
This is important because while some handhelds like the Casio and the iPaq have nice little direction-pads, some like the new HP PocketPC decided to clone tha Palm's horrible four-horizontal-keys layout.

 Bev Howard's PocketPC Tips and Tricks.
There are a number of places to get help for any PocketPC, but, unfortunately, the company that manufactured your device is not likely to be a good source of information unless your question is one of the most basic, often asked questions that owners post.
Note also, that while there are a number of different manufacturers of PocketPC devices (HP, Compaq, Casio, Toshiba, Dell, etc) the questions are almost 100% identical for all of the devices because the PocketPC operating system is the same on all of them.
Know, however, if you are "in" a PocketPC document that supports sound objects such as a Notes or Word document, the recording that will be created will become an embedded "sound" object within the document you may not be able to converted it to a WAV file.

 PocketPC support for Time & Chaos users
As long as your device uses PocketPC with the standard Contact, Calendar, and Tasks applications, it should be able to synchronize.
If you do not yet have Time and Chaos 6, there is an older version of our ChaosSync for PocketPC available for download in the discontinued software section of our Products page (down at the bottom under Legacy Software).
Since there are many differences in database formats between Time and Chaos and Pocket PC, you may wish to read the PocketPC readme.txt file before purchase, just so there are no "surprises" when you sync Time and Chaos with your Pocket PC.

 O'Reilly Network: Compaq's iPAQ PocketPC: The Multi-Purpose Multimedia Handheld
There seems to be a close partnership between the PocketPC and the PC so that the handheld doesn't have to do so much work itself.
But if managing your contacts and having a portable MP3 player are things that you want a handheld device to do, then the iPAQ makes a lot of sense, especially if you only have so many hands.
In the rest of this article, I'll take a deeper look into many of the features of the iPAQ and the PocketPC, pointing out differences between this device and the Palm.
