By Michael Erikson

The pocket PC has come a long way since its humble beginnings. This device started out as a calculator sized computer that had very limited and basic functions. Later models added the ability to see one line of text. Today's models are much more advanced. You can keep track of important appointments, browse the internet, organize your files and even play games and listen to music.

In early versions of the PDA the information could be lost when the device ran out of battery. Fortunately this is not the case anymore as newer versions is using both different hardware and software to control the storage. This problem was taken care of with the introduction of Windows Mobile 5.

Today's models are much more advanced. You can keep track of important appointments, browse the internet, organize your files and even play games and listen to music.
