Pocket PC 2002, originally codenamed "Merlin",

Windows CE
3.0.

Although mainly targeted for 240×320 (

QVGA) Pocket PC devices, Pocket PC 2002 was also used for Pocket PC phones (Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition), and for the first time, smartphones (Smartphone 2002).[2] These Pocket PC 2002 Smartphones were mainly GSM
devices. With future releases, the Pocket PC and Smartphone lines would increasingly collide as the licensing terms were relaxed allowing OEMs to take advantage of more innovative, individual design ideas.

Aesthetically, Pocket PC 2002 was meant to be similar in design to the then newly released

Terminal Services and Virtual Private Networking support, and the ability to synchronize folders. Other upgrades include an enhanced UI with theme support and savable downloads and WAP in Pocket Internet Explorer
.

On the technical side of things, Pocket PC 2002 removed

ARM architecture.[7]
