What is a Pocket PC?
A Pocket PC is a smaller version of a full sized personal computer either for office or home use. It is almost the size of small diaries that function like a regular sized computer. They possess many of the capabilities present in regular computers and can even run sophisticated applications. They are compact and lightweight enough to fit a person’s pocket hence the name Pocket PC.
The Pocket PC came out sometime in the 1990s. It was called Palm Pilot which was a small hand held device that functions as an organizer. Microsoft came out in 2000 with the pocket version of its popular Windows operating system. The term Pocket PC is not generic but rather is unique to personal digital assistants that are equipped with Microsoft’s systems.
