Hi All

Does pocket office or at least pocket word functions with CE devices

I'm looking at the loox n110 or the similar device by mio and they run on CE 5.0 and 4.2

Thanks

The nomenclature can be confusing, but Windows Mobile (which is required for Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, etc.) is actually the shell that runs on top of Windows CE on Pocket PC devices. But, devices like the LOOX you mention that use Windows CE do NOT also include the Windows Mobile shell, and it cannot be added or installed, even with considerable hacking.

If you want a GPS device that also includes Word, Excel, Inbox, etc. you're going to have to go with a Pocket PC device. That would include those with built-in GPS systems and those which utilize external GPS units, connecting via Bluetooth, cable or card slot.

The N110 uses a closed WinCE system - you can't add programs to it AFAIK.
