How do you explain MSFT’s Mobile Platforms to end users
Thursday, March 27th, 2008
Let’s say you developed a MSFT Windows mobile software, in the WM5 world, you probably named your product as "XYZ for Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC edition" and "XYZ for Windows Mobile 5 Smart Phone edition".
These names are fine for people working with WM systems, but for end users, the word "Smart Phone" might create a lot of confusions. The problem is more and more Pocket PC devices have phone functions, are they Pocket PCs or Smart Phones? A lot of users might choose the wrong software for the wrong devices.
I use the following simple method to explain this to the end users, it seems working well:
Looking for the "Start" menu on your device, if it's in the top left corner, choose the Pocket PC software; if it's in the lower left corner, use the Smart Phone software.
