Pocket PC Versions?

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

I am confused about the various version of the Pocket PC O/S.. I have a new
HP iPaq that has "Windows Mobile 2003" (or something like that), but the
"About" screen indicates it is Pocket PC Version 4.2.. I see references to
"Windows Mobile 5.0" on the Microsoft website.. is that the next version of
Pocket PC or a completely different O/S?

Thanks

You asked a very reasonable question. You are definitely not the first
to ask it. And I sure don't understand why the About box you found
doesn't provide the answer. Fortunately, several sites do provide
decent answers:
