Depending on the CPU, Windows Mobile/PocketPC/SmartPhone/WinCE are limited to MobiReader 4.9 or 5.3. Version 4.9 was copyright in 2003 and it's still in use because Mobipocket never released a newer version. Version 5.3 was only released for ARM CPU.

I use version 4.9 on my devices, and it does support over the air downloads as well as ebook buying from the device. It doesn't do it very well, though, because it relies on a web browser such as IE. It's not very well integrated.

As I've said before, there are very few software features of the Kindle that Mobipocket hadn't already thought of and incorporated into MobiReader long before the company was bought by Amazon. That's why I call the Kindle a Mobipocket device.
If they support OTA purchase on Windows Mobile Smartphones you would think that they would advertise it on their web site. Strange.
