mobile OS's
Hi all - hopefully someone here can answer

does anyone know the difference between the following OS's for smartphones/pda's

Smartphone 2003 - as found in Imate smartphone 2 / motorlola mpx200
Windows Mobile 2003 - as found in XDA2's
Pocket PC 2003 - as found in PDA's

im a bit confused as i read conflicting info for example some reviews give the xda 2 pocket pc some state windows mobile 2003 - well regardless of whats right id like to know the difference between the 3 OS's

i can only assume the difference is:

smartphone 2003 - for smart phones with some pda like abilities
windows mobile 2003 - a pocket pc 2003 clone for PDA's with phone abilities
pocket pc 2003 - for pure PDA's

thanks if anyone can clear it up

Far be it from any of us to try to interrupt your conversation - you seem to be getting along famously with ... err... yourself

'fraid I can't really help when it comes to PocketPC, I'm a PalmOS user myself.

Just wanted you to know that we're not ignoring you (well I'm not, anyway).
