The Sony PSP is the end of Windows Mobile full stop

I thought that "Windows Mobile" is now the general branding for the OS, and
that "Pocket PC" and "Smartphone" are terms that now only refer to the
hardware. Looks like MS Portable Media Centre is classed as a Windows Mobile
device too:

Most people I work with seem to use Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 2003
interchangeably.

hey! I am not talking about some THEORETICAL considerations, but I am
talking practical:
Windows Mobile 2005 (aka magneto) is one platform that can run both
smarpthone2003 and pocket pc 2003 applications!!!
both in pocket pc devices and in smarpthones powered by it!

I've only read that the PocketPC version of Windows Mobile 2005 will run
both PocketPC and Smartphone applications. Smartphones are not able to run
full fledged PocketPC apps.

Tell me, how would you expect to use a program that is controlled through a
touch screen to be used on a smartphone?
