  Jokester serious about taking on Microsoft
Time: 13:46 EST/18:46 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

Ken Belanger's Pocket PC may be a gag, but his lawsuit against Microsoft is not. On Tuesday, the entrepreneur sued Microsoft in small claims court in San Francisco, claiming he created a Pocket PC 17 years ago, and therefore has rights to the name the company has given its handheld computer. Belanger's product is not a computer at all but a decidedly low-tech joke gift poking fun at tech industry hype. People who shell out $9.95 for the device receive a box slightly bigger than a deck of cards that contains a poker chip and a set of instructions telling them how to use the chip to make important business and other decisions by flipping it like a coin.
