Unicode and Far Asian (Japanese) capabilities of PocketPC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Dear All,

I plan to buy a PDA with PocketPC, but I want to check some general
features before buying it.

Does PocketPC have Far Asian, Unicode support out of the box like
WinXP has, or you have to buy something?

It is also possible to input Japanese letter? What is the way?

I've seen a PDA with Japanese PocketPC, it worked fine, but with that
I was unable to input European characters like umlaut, etc. I tried an
English PocketPC, but it does not supported Japanese by default.

So there is a way to tune it up for supporting both? Or PocketPC is
still in the state like Win98 was like that you should decide with
locale you want and you cannot change?

Thanks,
Zoltan
