Is it possible to use BBO software to play bridge on line with a pocket PC? If so, what brand of pocket PC works best and the minimum requirements (yes, you need internet connection). In addition, can an internet-capable poicket PCs visit this website and read/post messages?

I am going to upgrade my handheld, and what the heck, before I spend the money, it would be nice to know if i could use the pocket guy for my favorite computer application?

I have no clue, sorry. I can tell you this;

The BBO client is compiled as a simple windows executable, using only one or two external DLLs.

If a pocket PC can run win32 programs, perhaps it will work. But I suspect that it can't.

Anyone know?

Nope - completely different operating system / compiler.

maybe one day bbo can support win32, mac os, unix, freebsd, and finally pocket pc os ;D
However, I think we don't have pocket pc os version now.
