I know this is a stupid question, but I am just trying to find out what
version of Microsoft Pocket PC my iPAQ 5555 is using. I went into System
About and what it reads is:

Microsoft Pocket PC
Version 4.20.0 (Build 14053)
copyright 1996-2003

But as far as I can tell, there is no such thing as Pocket PC 4.2. I
thought I was running PPC 2002. Can anyone clarify?

TIA,
Heidi Hunt

I don't think the question is stupid at all. I think the fact that you
can't easily find an answer is stupid. And I think both of these
assertions are confirmed by the number of times this question has been
asked and answered in this and other newsgroups. An earlier response
gave you the specific info. For more general answers, see:

Couldn't agree more with you RZ. It shouldn't be as difficult as it seems
at times to find out what version of P/PC you are running.

And as you point out, Chris' site has a great break down of the build
numbers vs. versions.

Heidi,

The only stupid question is the one not asked. :-)

As R_Z point out, check out CEwindows.NET as Chris has a good breakdown of
the different CE versions.
