I have an application that is running on both Pocket PC 2003 and Windows
Mobile 5.0 devices. Is it possible to query the device at runtime to
determine which OS it is currently running on?

Yes.

I just used google (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to
look up
platform run time
in this newsgroup and got 277 hits. I took a quick look and am quite
sure you'll find useful info.

But are you _sure_ you've asked the right question? If you are just
trying to inform the user, fine. But if you are trying to determine
what functions/features are supported, you will probably be better off
testing for them more directly. Or you may need to make compile-time
choices.
