At the moment there are 2 seperate versions of Windows Mobile for devices with a Phone:

Windows Mobile for Smartphone
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone Edition

The Smartphone version is not compatible with the Pocket PC version so if you buy a Smartphone be warned that most medical software will not work on it.

The situation is very confusing especially as Palm are calling the Treo 700w a Smartphone when it actually runs Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone edition. This means it will run most medical software as it is not really a Smartphone (according to Microsoft).

Check carefully when you buy a device with a phone that it runs the full Pocket PC version of Windows Mobile.

The BenQ P50 runs Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC Phone Edition which means it will run most medical software applications such as Epocrates, Harrison's etc.

The i-mate SP5 runs Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition which is not compatible with most medical software applications such as Epocrates, Harrison's etc.
