Here is another article about the upcoming Pocket PC from Microsoft. I am not so sure if they will be here next month though. The new devices will be priced the same as the Palm IIIc yet will have Pocket Word, Excel, Explorer and email (Pocket Outlook?).

"The empire, of course, is Microsoft. While most of the high-tech world last week had its eyes on Palm Inc. and its heavily publicized initial public offering, the giant to the north was laying the groundwork for a counterattack on the handheld computer market. Microsoft's not-so-secret weapon will be a new generation of products it calls the ``Pocket PC.'' Slated to hit the market next month, these new devices will be only slightly larger than Palm's products, and probably not much more expensive than Palm's high-end models, yet they'll have about as much processing power and memory as a vintage-1997 desktop PC.
