I've been following some of your MonoTouch related discussions of late. I guess it all depends upon definitions. Back in the day of Pocket PC 2000 the moniker "Windows Mobile" didn't fully exist. That first came into existance with the Pocket PC 2003 release. So yes I was technically using an earlier version of the same OS, but technically it wasn't called Windows Mobile at the time. My first exposure was actually with one of the forerunners - Palm PC. Then again I guess to be 100% technically correct we should now simply be referring to "Windows Phone" :-) Thanks Kevin for the kind words.

In the interests of pedantry (and I'm a programmer, so what do you expect?) Pocket PC was launched early in 2000, so arguably Windows Mobile did exist when you started.
