What's the difference between PNA and PDA? (not a newbie question!)

Hi folks!

Searched the whole Net for it but nobody could answer me this question.. maybe I was asking the wrong people.

So why are the Windows Mobile systems sooo different from Windows CE Core versions :confused::confused:

In fact the Mobile versions should be much more clever than the Core, not?

Why I'm asking is because I would want to run programs across these systems (I think this is the right term).

So if anybody knows something, please do answer me :)

Thanks!

The answer is quiet simple IMHO : the CE core is what is the kernel for desktopmachines. WM and CE are the same , except for the fact that WM is a GUI to use the functions of the CE core.

Basic : PNA (Personal Navigation Assistent) is running a WM without GUI. The only 'activated' functions are related to the navigation.

PDA (Personal Digital Assistent) uses the same system with a GUI and many more options 'activated' (read accessible).
