Originally regarded as little more than Microsoft's answer to Palm, the Windows Mobile (formerly Pocket PC) operating system has come into its own. In February 2007, Microsoft released Windows Mobile 6 and brought a collection of noteworthy improvements, including added functionality to the Calendar and Contacts applications and an email search function.
With each subsequent OS upgrade comes more enhancements to make hand helds and smart phones easier to use. The Windows Mobile operating system syncs with Microsoft Outlook and only Microsoft Outlook (though a third party program called The Missing Sync allows for synchronization with Macintosh systems).
The recently updated ActiveSync utility makes this a seamless, nearly instantaneous affair, though Microsoft inexplicably removed a few desirable features, like the option to sync your PDA with your computer via Wi-Fi.
While Windows Mobile provides robust business productivity, it also provides superb multimedia functions.
Smart phones or PDAs running Windows Mobile can play DRM protected music, videos, and even streaming television if your service provider has that capability.
