I believe Bill Gates uses a Windows Mobile Smartphone. He seems to be as excited about and biased toward the Smartphone platform as he is toward the Tablet PC, which is why Microsoft seems to be throwing so much work to the Smartphone while treating the Pocket PC as an afterthought. I believe after Win Mobile 6, the non-phone Windows Mobile device will be a dead platform.

I watched a webcast of a Bill Gates keynote (I forget which event) where he demonstrated the use of a Smartphone to carry data (including a developing MSNBC story) from his home computer on a commute to his work computer and then on to the airport. This was all setup on stage; he did not go anywhere.
