Nov. 18--It's ba-a-ack. The pen-based computer, now renamed and repackaged as the hand-held personal computer, will be unveiled today at the Comdex trade show by Microsoft Corp. and several partners.
Similar to a pocket-sized electronic organizer, these "HPCs" run a slimmed-down, low-memory version of Windows called Windows CE, "pocket" versions of the popular Microsoft word processing, spreadsheet, calendar and contact management applications and an e-mail application called Inbox.
