Not sure how far this story is true. Upon the arival of Windows Mobile 6, its gonna be renamed such as 

Windows Mobile for Smartphone -> Windows Mobile 6 Standard

Windows Mobile for Pocket PC -> Windows Mobile 6 Classic

Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone -> Windows Mobile 6 Professional

By changing the names Microsoft wants to make that the transition from traditional handhelds to the current smart devices more clear. Microsoft also wants to make it more clear for customers what the difference between Smartphones, Pocket PC's and Pocket PC Phone really is.

All Windows Mobile devices without a touchscreen will be called "Standard". These will probably all be Smartphones. By naming the Pocket PC version "Classic" Microsoft wants to ensure that customers know that this basic platform has come to an end and connected devices are the future.
