Which is the correct usage? I'm pretty certain it's Pocket PC, as that's what most people seem to use - however, I saw PocketPC on the front page today and wondered if there's an official way to write it.

(Yes, I'm bored AND pedantic...)

Well I don't think any website has dominated enough to have the one and only definitive style guide for Windows Mobile, So I'd justgo with the way Microsoft uses it "Pocket PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/pocketpc/default.mspx)"

That is until MS decides that everything needs to be called Windows Mobile Convergent Devices and we can start using WMCD. I was just getting used to PPC2002 when they made the change to WM2003. It's nice to know that the acronyms department continues to find work.

WMCD, Hmmm... pronounced WimCD maybe? Hey is that a WimCD you're using?

The general term use is Pocket PC (with a space), and that's how Microsoft present it on their Windows Mobile website. But on to other things now...

I'm a fan of the Windows Mobile Personal Electronic Device, or WiMPED for short. :P
