Win CE and PPC

I'm looking at a NEC Moblepro 780 and it has Windows CE, but I want to know
if I can put Pocket PC programs on it?

Thanks

Microsoft defines the Pocket PC platforms, and has defined Pocket PC
2002 and newer as running _only_ on ARM-compatible CPUs. The 780 has a
MIPS CPU. See:

So you certainly won't be able to run any program built for Pocket PC
2002, Pocket PC 2003, or Pocket PC 2005.

Any program _built_ for Pocket PC uses menus found only on Pocket PC.
So you probably won't be able to run any application built for Pocket
PC.
