Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003 is an operating system developed by
Microsoft used in Pocket PCs. It
is similar to desktop versions of Windows. First released in
2003, the Second edition, which will support a display resolution of 640:480 instead of
320:240, advanced features and WPA support was released in 2004.
Windows Mobile 2003 comes in 2 variants. WM2003 for Pocket PC and WM2003 phone edition.
Phone edition is made especially for Pocket PCs which include GSM phones (as Qtec
or O2).
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (otherwise known as Windows Mobile 2003SE) includes the option to switch from landscape to
portrait. Pocket Internet Explorer (otherwise known as PIE) includes a new way to layout web pages. You can now view pages in One
Column so you don't have to scroll left and right, only up and down. Windows Mobile 2003
Second Edition now supports VGA resolutions. Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition wasn't originally going to contain this feature,
due to pressure from Pocket PC manufacturers Microsoft decided to add this
feature to Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. The Dell Axim x30 was the first Pocket
PC to feature Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. Another resolution Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition supports is QVGA for
Smartphones. The Smartphone version of this operating system does not include support for landscape and portrait, only portrait.
The operating system now supports a new form factor (square): 240
by 240 and 480 by 480 (for VGA screens). This new form factor is great for vendors who want to incorporate a hardware keyboard to
the device. The current aspect ratio of 320 by 240 makes it too clumsy to add a hardware keyboard. Windows Mobile 2003 Second
Edition also includes support for Wi-Fi Protected
Access (other wise known as WPA). Windows Mobile Second Edition was released in 2004.
