Microsoft will (again) be renaming the various versions of Windows Mobile, in an effort to completely confuse anyone who wants to use one of their products.
"There will be (at least) three versions of Windows Mobile 6, all of which come with rather generic taglines. What was once known as Smartphone (for touchscreen-less handsets) will become "Standard", "Professional" takes over the duties of Pocket PC Phone Edition, and Pocket PC (i.e., the telephony-less wonders) will be transformed into "Classic". 'Cause, you know, PDAs without phone radio are getting a little dated."
Oh well, it could have been worse,and they could have used the same naming convention as Vista, and then we would all be really confused.
