Microsoft Debuts Pocket PC For Handhelds

Microsoft Debuts Pocket PC For Handhelds By John Ruley, Byte. Last month, I reported that Microsoft would replace the CE 2.x-based Palm-sized PC (P/PC) with a new CE 3.0-based version called Pocket PC; and I discussed two new applications that would debut on the new platform, namely CE versions of Microsoft's Reader e-book software and Windows Media Player. I've been beta testing the new software using updated ROMs in two P/PCs (a Compaq Aero 2140 and an HP Jornada 430). Pocket PC Pro devices will also have Pocket Word and Pocket Excel, which were previously available only on the larger CE 2.x-based handheld PC (H/PC) devices that have keyboards.

A Look Back, and a Look Ahead

The first generations of Windows CE-based devices were labeled PC companions because they relied heavily on "host" PCs for applications and data. The functions at which pocket PCs excel start with PIM management and synchronization (including new software for exchanging data with Palm devices) and end at video and audio capture and playback. But neither model is a mainstream product on the scale of Palm or Pocket PC devices. Palm, no; Pocket PC, yes.

I've been beta testing the new software using updated ROMs in two P/PCs (a Compaq Aero 2140 and an HP Jornada 430). Microsoft says the old-fashioned look is more suited to the small display size on Pocket PC devices, and I'm inclined to agree. Pocket PC Pro devices will also have Pocket Word and Pocket Excel, which were previously available only on the larger CE 2.x-based handheld PC (H/PC) devices that have keyboards.

Two for Starters, More to Come

As of today's Pocket PC launch, only two Palm-size PCs are available: the Casio Cassiopeia E-115 ($600 street) and the HP Jornada 545 ($500 street) from Hewlett-Packard.

With sparer interfaces and fresh functionality courtesy of Microsoft Corp.'s new Pocket PC operating system, Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Jornada 545 and Casio Inc.'s Cassiopeia E-115 offer customers in the market for handheld devices compelling alternatives to Palm OS-based devices. In addition, the menu and settings software with which HP bolsters the Jornada help fill usability gaps that remain in the Pocket PC interface in a way that the Cassiopeia's included applications do not. However, for users in a position to take advantage of Internet and office productivity applications, we'd choose the Jornada over the Cassiopeia and Palm without hesitation. The Jornada's battery life nearly matches that of Palm Inc.'s Palm IIIc and exceeds that of previous HP handhelds.
