"A Pocket PC (P/PC, PPC) is a kind of personal digital assistant (PDA) that runs the Windows Mobile or Windows CE operating system. It has some of the abilities of modern desktop PCs. The name was introduced by Microsoft in 2000 as a rebranding of the Palm-size PC category. Some of these devices also had integrated wireless phone and data capabilities, which were called Pocket PC Phone Edition, as well as Smartphone.
As of 2010, thousands of applications existed for handhelds adhering to the Microsoft Pocket PC specification, many of which were freeware. Microsoft-compliant Pocket PCs can be used with many add-ons such as GPS receivers, barcode readers, RFID readers, and cameras." - (en.wikipedia.org 02.01.2021)
