PCWorld.com reviewer Yardena Arar tested Windows Mobile 2003, the update to Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 operating system, and found it to be so-so.

Otherwise, the new OS, which may be available as a download for some Pocket PC 2002 models, is not essential, Arar says. Windows Mobile was tested on Hewlett-Packard's new IPaq H2210 and a wireless-enabled Toshiba E755.
