I saw references to a few PocketPC's that support a USB Host.  I saw
Toshiba and a couple of other manufactures mentioned.  I expect PocketPC
driver support is lacking so it may not help much unless I feel up to
learning the PocketPC driver DDK.

I can use the FTDI virtual COM port drivers under Windows to communicate
to a PIC device containing the FTDI chip.  Unfortunately, I doubt that
FTDI makes PocketPC drivers for their USB-to-serial chip.

I may need to investigate how to convert RS-232 levels to communicate
with the 3V serial I/O logic of the PIC16.  I deleted my PICList emails
earlier today so I missed the "Communication Between PIC and PC" thread
you mentioned.  Maybe it'll show up in the archives soon.
