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.
