It’s been a long time since I heard the word Pocket PC. The portable operating system of Microsoft, Windows Mobile, has leaving the PPC devices. Once Windows Phone 7 OS will be released to the market those devices will disappear forever.
Bye Bye Pocket PC
Smart phones began to be distributed throughout the world countries while keeping the attraction of new customers to the Windows Mobile operating system. PDA devices are no longer being sold without a phone feature what makes it smartphone, no Pocket PC.
Windows Mobile operating system is going to grow but the Pocket PC devices will be extinct. In any case this does not mean the PDA features will stop; only that device will include the phone feature and will be called as smartphone instead of PPC.
Windows Mobile users always ask themselves what is more appropriate for them. Some users prefer the Pocket PC that allows managing information efficiently and some prefer the smartphone that lets all of that plus the phone function.
Windows Mobile based smart phones really proved themselves in recent years but many smartphone users do not get used to device phone feature. The solution is to buy a Pocket PC and a simple phone to save your headache.
So as we understood Pocket PC device includes features like a smartphone: Windows Mobile OS, Word, Excel, Bluetooth, WiFi and more. The only feature that is lacking is the phone function. The price differences are very significant! Smart phone price is higher by about 300$ then the ppc.
In conclusion I recommend everyone that uses Windows Mobile to check what device he needs: Pocket PC or smartphone. It’s very important to save your money!

Microsoft released the Windows Mobile 6.1 and many of us ask what the differences between Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 operating systems?
Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 OS
The appearance of Windows Mobile 6.1 is a lot more respectable than the 6.0 and has beautiful icons and menus. It feels like the feeling Windows Vista created when it was released.
The SMS massages view in Windows Mobile 6.1 similar to Windows Messenger. All messages from one contact are displayed in sequence like instant messenger application. As a result it’s more convenient to see the messages.
Windows Mobile 6.1 has some improvements in Internet Explorer. It lets you zoom on the contents of pages and supports Flash Lite.
The last difference between Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.0 is the Task Manager, which allows seeing the amount of RAM the device use, just like on your PC.
Windows Mobile is an operating system for smartphones and ppcs that offers a wide variety of games including computer games ports. Ports are files that change the way the software execute to enable its operation on different platforms.
Quake Mobile is a port of Quake for the Windows Mobile operating system. The game is a first-person game from ID Software who brought us Doom. The goal is to pass stages using weapons and items.
Quake port for Windows Mobile
The game contains 32 huge maps that cause the player to settle in Quake for hours with amazing landscape and frightening atmosphere. Quake Mobile equip the player on 9 weapons ready to kill anything that moves including grenade launcher, rocket launcher and more. The game offers a convenient control on the touch screen. The control is so comfortable that you’ll feel you actually not playing on Windows Mobile smartphone.
Quake Mobile is a great experience of playing on your Windows Mobile smartphone, but if your device does not contain graphic accelerator, the game will not work.
Windows Mobile operating system gives smartphone users the ability to control the PC through the device, this way, users can check what is happening on their PC without the need for another computer, and all they need is a smart phone running Windows Mobile 6.
Remote desktop in action
Windows Mobile 6 Professional includes the remote administration application from Microsoft, through which you can connect the PC from your smartphone and its settings similar to XP/Vista/7 remote desktop software.
Big disappointment for smartphone users is the processing speed of the remote desktop application. It shows the desktop in 256 colors and very difficult to navigate on your PC because of the low resolution of the Windows Mobile smart phone.
In conclusion, Microsoft spoiled the Windows Mobile smartphone users with the remote administration software but I would not recommend using it because of the difficulty involved in its operation on the smart phone. It’s best to just use remote desktop software from another computer.
