Palm Applications vs. PocketPC Applications

As you will see, a lot of the applications with both of these PDA devices are very similar in their uses. It used to be that the PocketPC had more common applications (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) than PalmOS had, however with the new models that Palm has released users can store, receive, and view Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files, listen to MP3s, store photos and videos, etc. just like you could always do with a PocketPC.
