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!
