Of course o pocket app will work. Sipmly because you are talking about windows mobile applications. What people is not aware of, both in the mobile world and in the normal PC world, is that to run applications you need an operative system. Every application can run ONLY on specific OSes. Softwares like Firefox choose to have for example multiple OS releases, multiple versions, one for windows, one for Mac OS, one for Linux... But very few tools have this approach. That means, you have to simply find alternatives for every PPC app you are used to.
Android is a Linux distribution. So, windows mobile apps will not work but maybe you'll find good Linux alternatives for you windows tools. What's sure is that you won't be able to use THAT particular tool. Unless, as you said, they decide to release a linux version of that tool. But in my opinion this will be not very likely. It depends on how much the Android will be successfull I guess... but, look, Mac is incredibly successfull right now and Autodesk NEVER released or intend to release an Autocad for Mac, so...
