Hello,
PDA stands for --> personal digital assistant.
it is like a a handheld computer or a palmtop computer.
Pocket pc is an operating environment for handheld computers from Microsoft.

Yes, that's about right.
PDAs running the Windows Mobile OS from Microsoft are called Pocket PCs.
The confusion is not new. See http://palmtops.about.com/od/pda101/l/blchart.htm for an example of difference between PDAs running Palm OS and Windows Mobile (Pocket PC).
Generally, If I have a PDA running WM OS, I call it my Pocket PC, that can be made by any manufacturer...
I could stand to be corrected, but it's worth a try!
