The main difference between the two is that Pocket PC is multitasking (you can run multiple programs at the same time) while Palm OS is not. But the next version of Palm OS will be multitasking. It's funny how Palm previously said the Pocket PC features (color, multitasking, fast CPU, etc.) are not needed and then later add those same features to Palm OS.

well in defence of palm then batt's are becomming better and
things like colour tft and .....
require less power then they used to
i see pocketpc as a pc which fit in your pocket (not shirt pocket though :P)
and palm as a eletronic calander / time manager. ... . . ..
a pocketpc is overkill for many people who just need a eletronic time manager

It turns out that the next version of Palm OS will not be a true multitasking OS. Instead, it will use the task-swapping method, and only if a program is written specifically for task-swapping. So the next version of Palm OS still won't be able to run multiple processes at the same time.
