Confused on Windows Mobile Smartphones/Pocket PC Phones
I'm sure this has been answered, but I haven't found the thread, so have pity on me. I am new to the whole Smartphone thing. I still use my Axim X5-- so I'm back in the Stone Age of Pocket PC's. Anyway, I'm looking at some smartphones that say they run Windows Mobile. Does this mean I can use pocket pc aps that run on my Axim or do I need a Pocket PC phone running windows? Is there a difference between Windows Mobile on SmartPhones versus Pocket PC's? I am looking at the T-Mobile Dash for instance.
Thanks for any help and I appologize if this has been answered in the past, I just could't find the asnwer when I did searches.

The difference between Smartphones and Pocket PCs is the touch screen. Pocket PCs have a touch screen and Smartphones do not.

This is a pretty big difference and so most Pocket PC software will not work on a Smartphone. You should look specifically for Smartphone software. Here's a link to get you started:
