I still get a chuckle out of the name Windows Mobile Device – isn’t the acronym for that WMD? Sometimes I think my mobile device is closely related to a weapon of mass destruction. Oh that’s right after that guffaw, Microsoft renamed the product Microsoft Mobile Device. Some background here. I had one of the early Compaq Pocket PCs, and bulky as is was, I really liked it. It had 128MB of RAM, I could edit documents and spreadsheets, I could copy and paste, it synchronized with my computer and was much easier to carry around than a laptop … I had my contacts and my entire calendar on it. It was a great PDA.
