Editor's Note

We are pleased to include a new Enterprise section in this edition of the Pocket PC magazine Buyer's Guide.

The enterprise buyer has an especially tough task in this rapidly changing market. If you're in this category, the "decision tree" for Pocket PC hardware should be a valuable tool (p.27). Thanks to Don Sorcinelli of the Boston Pocket PC User Group for this very comprehensive and informed article.

I want to say a special thank you to Nathan Clevenger of Clevrware, Inc., who has some words of wisdom for those of you contemplating a custom software solution for mobile implementations (at right). He has also helped us refine the classification scheme for Pocket PC magazine's Web listing of commercial software products for the enterprise (p. 87). Products are now grouped under Communications, Data Capture, Data Collection, Development, Groupware, Sales Force Automation, and System Administration.

You can see the up-to-date product listing at www.PocketPCmag.com/encyclopedia.asp, where you should follow the Software link and look for the Enterprise or Developer categories. This database is continuously updated, so be sure to bookmark it!
