Windows for smart phones, Windows for handhelds ALL RUN ON TOP OF WINDOWS CE.

The Window Mobile team just takes CE and then builds the platform on top of that leaving out any components they don't require and modifying the interface to be more 'mobile' friendly.

So yes, CE is still very relevant and will very much be likely 'prancing about' on your next Windows-based handheld or smartphone as all future releases of Window Mobile will be based on it. ]]>May 9th 2006 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/
Windows CE is the architecture technology behind Windows Mobile and Pocket PC -- they're all built on top of Windows CE. You'll likely see a new release of Windows Mobile soon enough built on top of the new Windows CE.]]>May 9th 2006 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/

Then it was NEC if I remember, which had brand new "H/PC" device, which suddenly became unsupported by the OS vendor. Then, pages appeared again.
For me as a user WinCE is much more "completely separate" OS from WM than Win98 from XP. I have PPC, I have H/PC (an old HP-720), I have even a WinCE phone (Neonode). Programs are almost completely incompatible;)]]>May 9th 2006 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/May 9th 2006 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/
Anyone know whether I will be able to upgrade my 6700 to 6.0 - there was talk of an upgrade path this time but...]]>May 9th 2006 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/
Anyways, I'll upgrade my smartphone next year too. Hello CE6.]]>May 10th 2006 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/windows-ce-6-previewed/
I have Verizon's VX6600 (an HTC handheld running WinMobile 2003) w/ EVDO service and I am forever having to re-enter my password to maintain my EVDO connection and I have to soft reset my phone usually twice a week because it will fail to make a call or pick up a call when its ringing...

The reason for having this over a Treo 650 is my goofy employer won't support the sync piece for Palm anymore (Billware rules here!) and I live in an "IT lockdown" shop where I can't install my own software.

When it works well, the ability to do phone stuff, handheld computing, internet stuff (gmail and google homepage on your phone is sweet!) and so on is really nice. When it gets persnickety, it can be a royal pain in the butt.

It would be really great if someone invested some time, effort and cash into making WinMobile as stable as some people want to claim that it is.

Thanks!
