<a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&amp;q=pocket+pc">http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&amp;q=pocket+pc</a><br /><br />Want more Pocket PC news than our humble site is able to dish out? Well, <a href="http://www.pocketpcmagic.com">pt</a> pointed me towards a new feature that Google is offering - a whole lotta' news! It's very cool because in addition to giving you the normal URL and article summary, it tells you how long ago an article was published. I plan to start checking this every morning. Thanks Google! (I love those guys over at Google - what did we do before Google?)

Thanks Jason and pt for another useful hint. I notice the news tab this morning, but besides a quick glance, I hadn't looked in depth at it's features.

Once thing to maybe point out is to sort by date instead of relevance if you want all the latest news. Use this link instead http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&scoring=d&q=%22pocket+pc%22
It also ensures that the words "Pocket PC" are stated together and do not occur as 2 separate words in the article

Cool, I've been using news.google.com for a while, but never thought of it for Pocket PC news. Here's something that should be neat, if you can get news.google.com and all the stories on it through Google's WAP optimizer type page, you could make it into a makeshift channel for offline viewing. Not sure if you can due to the way everything is set up though.
