I don't see anything wrong with the current naming scheme as it is. Microsoft's biggest problem with me has always been that they try to be so 'peculiar' but in actuality they're not. If they do decide to conform with this, regardless, I will continue to reference my Windows Mobile device as a "Pocket PC".

Oh my gosh...And WM6 is not named in line with the version of Windows CE it is built on? When will they ever make things simpler and less confusing for consumers?
