arm for Pocket PC 2002 and 2003 ARM-based devices, and devices and emulators using Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 SE, WM 5, or WM 6 operating systems.
Example devices include HP iPaq, Dell Axim, Toshiba e740, and Symbol PPT-8800.

Windows CE for “bare” Windows CE and Windows CE .NET devices
Example devices include HP Jornada and the Intermec 700 series bar code scanners. The Windows CE platform allows device manufacturers to choose or change the features they implement, so the level of support of Windows CE is not always well specified.
Dropped emulator support
Support for the x86 emulators and the spx86 emulators has
been dropped from the current release.
The PocketBuilder VMs are included in CAB files and subdirectories of the PocketBuilder 2.5 WinCE directory.
