Nope....its a pocket pc..
PDA stands for --> personal digital assistant.
It is like a a handheld computer or a palmtop computer.
Pocket PC is an operating environment for handheld computers from Microsoft. PDAs running the Windows Mobile OS from Microsoft are called Pocket PCs.
The confusion is not new. So dili gihapon overpricing as you have said. Simply put, a DELL AXIM has more to do than an ordinary PDA. Try gaming and gaming emulations, layo ra ang uban vs sa xscale proc sa DELL... hahaha
See palmtops.about.com/od/pda101/l/blchart.htm for an example of difference between PDAs running Palm OS and Windows Mobile (Pocket PC).
