>>Microsoft has changed the name of its palm devices from "Palm-Sized" to "Pocket PC". Due out in June 2000, they have also modified Windows CE to be easier to use for palm configuration. Pocket Explorer and Pocket Office will finally be included onto palm devices. Previously theses applications were only available on the larger "mobile devices" with keyboards.

The name change for sure, but inclusion of Pocket Office is new for palm-sized CE devices.
