Mobile devices are very common in everyone’s day-to- day life. Nowadays such devices come with many features of desktop or laptop. Hence people can use these devices for diverse applications. As the acceptability and usability of such devices are very high, there are chances that these devices can be used for illegal activities. The percentage of mobile phones or smart phones involved in cyber crimes is in hike. So it becomes necessary to digitally analyze such devices requiring cyber forensics tools. This paper discusses different types of digital evidence present in Microsoft’s Windows Mobile smart phones and an agent based approach for logically acquiring such devices. Also it describes a tool developed for forensically acquiring and analyzing Windows Mobile devices and WinCE PDAs.
