Walt Mossberg chose to discuss the dark ugly secret of the Pocket PC in his "Personal Technology" column today. No, not Connection Manager. ;) Support for Microsoft Office documents. While nearly 3 years ago the Pocket PC had the best support for Office Documents on any handheld, today, it is a distant second. Few improvements have been made to the miniature suite. Pocket Word now has a spell checker, but that is about all that is new since April of 2000. The bottom line is, Palm OS devices, through third party apps usually bundled with a new device, have the best Office support today, not the Pocket PC.
Oh the humanity! :oops:
