The Pocket PC is a combination of Windows CE and an added functionality, which is similar to that of Microsoft Office on full-blown desktop and laptop computers. Pocket PCs contain, among other applications, e-mail, a calendar, an Internet browser, Word, and Excel. The name confusion between Pocket PC and Windows CE really doesn’t matter, and Microsoft has been extremely successful in promoting the Pocket PC as the platform for future mobile devices.
