Q. What is Windows Mobile?
A. Windows Mobile is an operating system that can bring a lot of the power of your personal computer to a mobile device, such as a pocket pc or smartphone. A Windows Mobile smartphone, for example, is more than just a regular phone. It’s also a personal digital assistant (PDA) that keeps track of your important contacts, appointments, and tasks. It’s a very useful tool that gives you access to all your e-mail messages, whether for work or pleasure. It also frees you from your desk by providing Internet access and, in many cases, the ability to view, create, and modify Microsoft Office documents. In addition, depending on the model you choose, it can play a number of other roles ranging from digital camera to media player to global positioning system. Windows Mobile also allows your mobile device to work hand-in-hand with your personal computer. Work you do on the road is automatically reflected on your PC, and vice versa. It synchronizes your devices so your Microsoft Outlook data and important documents are up to date in both places. This allows you to use your mobile device for even critical business tasks such as managing your expense account or tracking inventory.

Q. How Do Windows Mobile Powered Phones Differ from Other Cell Phones?
A. The key difference is that Windows Mobile has an interface similar to the familiar Windows interface that runs on your desktop PC, so it’s easy to work with. You won’t have the same learning curve that you would if you were working with an interface that was less familiar. Phones running Windows Mobile also provide more sophisticated capabilities, including: More applications. Windows Mobile powered devices are the only mobile devices that can run mobile versions of Microsoft Office applications. With Windows Mobile, you get Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile, Internet Explorer Mobile, MSN Messenger, and Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. Some devices also come with Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Microsoft Office Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint Mobile. You can add even more functionality by installing any of a broad range of Microsoft and third-party applications, including software for sales force automation, customer relationship management, inventory management, and much more. Up-to-the-minute Outlook data. Instead of using software that’s “just like” Microsoft Outlook, you get a mobile version of Outlook itself. That means wherever you are, as long as you have connectivity, you have access to up-to-date Outlook information. Easy access to information. Phones running Windows Mobile make it easy to access the information you need, wherever you have connectivity. For example, you can access your company’s global address list, so you don’t have to worry about whether you brought a co-worker’s contact information with you. You can also use the Internet to check traffic, look up a phone number or address, or find out if your plane is leaving on time.

Q. What’s the difference between a Pocket PC and a Smartphone?
A. Pocket PCs come with mobile versions of Office applications in addition to Microsoft Outlook Mobile. Though there are different Pocket PCs, many come with Wi-Fi to enable you to connect to the Internet when you are in a wireless hotspot. With a Pocket PC, you’ll be able to use Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile and browse the Internet if you have a device with Wi-Fi and are in a wireless hotspot. You can compose e-mail messages and send them by synchronizing with your desktop computer or wirelessly when you’re in a hotspot. You can do everything with a Pocket PC Phone that you can do with a Pocket PC with the addition of wireless access to the Internet and phone capabilities. If you have a Pocket PC Phone, you can access the Internet through your wireless connection—you won’t need to find a wireless hotspot. A smartphone has phone capabilities and comes with a smaller set of applications. Though you can add third-party software titles to your smartphone, the smaller keypad and screen are designed to give you quick one-handed access to important data. A smartphone is a good choice for business users who need to check e-mail, keep track of their calendars, and take voice notes, but who don’t need the added functionality of Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile.

Q. Can I use the same programs on my smartphone/pocketpc as on my desktop computer?
A. Windows Mobile powered devices use mobile versions of familiar Microsoft Office software. Third-party software companies develop software for Windows Mobile powered devices that extend the platform. You cannot use desktop versions of your software on your device.
