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...
