Pocket PC orphan child of Microsoft products

This report from ZDNet News claims that because the court ruling doesn’t address Microsoft’s handheld OS specifically, this leaves it in limbo for both Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers supporting it. The article states the potential exists for the Pocket PC “to escape the Microsoft product hierarchy, develop more quickly, and take a stronger position in the handheld market.” On the other hand, “It could also lose the confidence of the shrinking number of hardware manufacturers currently supporting it.”
