Pocket PC

A Pocket PC (P/PC, PPC) is a class of personal digital assistant (PDA) that runs the Windows Mobile operating system, which is based on Windows CE/Windows Embedded Compact, and that 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 and was marketed until 2008. Some of these devices also had integrated phone and data capabilities, which were known as Pocket PC Phone Edition and are comparable to more modern smartphones. Windows Smartphone is another Windows CE based platform for non-touch and non-PDA devices.

The HP iPAQ 100 Classic series (models 110 to 116) represented the final stage of manufacturing of pure Pocket PCs, without telephony functions. The release timeline began at the end of 2007 with the iPAQ 110 and 114 models, expanding throughout 2008 with the arrival of models 111, 112, and 116. This line was HP’s last major effort in the market of PDAs based on the Windows Mobile system before the industry's definitive transition to smartphones in the following years.
