Windows Phone Thoughts: All He Needs is the Air that He Breathes....and a Pocket PC

"Ever since I first became involved with Pocket PCs in early 2000, I've wondered if it's possible to totally replace a desktop PC with one of these powerful little handhelds. . . . Until quite recently, I've never felt that I could effectively complete all my work-related tasks on a Pocket PC. My opinion changed when I acquired a new Dell Axim X50v. . . . The latest version of the software is more capable and the newer devices have a variety of improvements, including VGA screens, faster processors, more built-in storage capacity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and more. I decided that it was time to see just how capable these new devices are. For five days I'd rely almost entirely on the new Axim X50v and a few accessories to do everything associated with my job."

So how did Don Sorcinelli from Pocket PC Mag get on during his five days? Very well actually. There were very few things that his X50v couldn't do. The question was mainly one of appropriateness. You *could* replace your desktop with a Pocket PC, though of course there are many things you could more easily do with a desktop's greater screen size and performance. In the end, the greater range and complexity of mobile digital devices means that you can chose the right tool for the job, to suit your personal working style, i.e. there's a Pocket PC that's right for you out there somethere. (Just don't ask about the gadget budget :wink:)
