There are several different companies that sell and manufacture Pocket PCs. The major manufacturers are: HP, Toshiba, Acer, ASUS, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens, HTC, and ViewSonic. Gateway Computers and JVC announced their plans to release a Pocket PC in 2003, but their project plans were discontinued. In 2003, the average price for a Pocket PC ranged from $200 to $800 USD. Although it was rumored that a model priced between $100 and $200 would be released in 2004 or 2005, the price for a just-released model has never gone under $300. Before the introduction of the Pocket PC, there were other similar products on the market. HP, Philips, and several other companies had been manufacturing products similar to the Pocket PC. These products ran Windows CE 2.0-2.11, which is nearly identical to the desktop version of Windows 98.
