Pocket PCs are hand-held personal digital assistant devices which use the Windows Mobile Classic operating system. There are thousands of programs for the Pocket PC and the Windows Classic OS, many of which can be obtained for free. Pocket PC owners can find many Bible reading and Bible study programs for the device as well, which allow owners to study the Bible while commuting, traveling or in any situation where they have a few spare minutes. This article provides you a review of the different kinds of PPC Study Bibles.

Some versions, such as the King James and the Bible in Basic English, are available as "starter kits," easy-to-install, self-contained bundles with executable files and documentation.
