Is this crossbow what u r talking about ?

M$ has Launched Windows CE6 Today, I was wondering if anyone has got their hands on it and been able to play around with device compatibility.

Here's a link to the article:
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5716.html
And here's a link to the trial:

Thanks for the links. I'm going to download now

dragonedge,
Please post your results, I would be very interested to know if it will run on my wizard.
Thanks,
Clay

dude...
1) you cross posted
2) again, this is released to the manufactuers, it'll be at LEAST 4 to 6 months before we even hear of a device testing this OS
3) what you posted is an evaluation environment for Visual Studio... lol. You're not going to get your hands on something like that that easily.
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 (plug-in for Visual Studio 2005)

awwww too bad but shouldn't you be able to create some type of Rom with this? Or is this literally just a developer tool released for a software that hasn't been released or won't be for a long time?

Overview
Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 is a componentized operating system designed from the ground up to power small footprint devices and help developers get them to market fast. Choosing from a wide variety of technology components and pre-existing templates, you can quickly build hard real-time commercial and consumer electronics devices, such as:
Set-top boxes
Thin clients
Digital media adapters
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones
Navigation devices
Medical devices
Portable media players
Home gateways
Digital cameras
Networked digital televisions
PDAs
Features
Along with its portfolio of hundreds of carefully tested, easily selectable OS components, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 includes innovative features designed to help promote performance, security, compatibility, and flexibility.
Robust Architecture
Unified Kernel. The redesigned Windows Embedded CE 6.0 kernel now handles more than 32,000 simultaneous processes, each with 2 GB of virtual memory space. The new file system supports larger storage media and file sizes (up to 4 GB), and removable media encryption.
Drivers. Production-quality device drivers help decrease the amount of modification needed for drivers to work with custom hardware, and enhanced driver support in CE 6.0 helps ensure easy portability. Drivers can be run in kernel mode for performance or in user mode for robustness.
Security. The redesigned one-tier security model is SDL compliant and helps ensure that only trusted applications can run on your embedded device.
Compatibility. CE 6.0 works with key processor architectures (x86, ARM, SH4, and MIPS) and, through its compatibility testing tool, has features to help port existing Win32 applications.
Device Performance. Improvements to the kernel architecture have greatly reduced the overhead of system calls between base OS services, resulting in improved operating system performance.
New Media and Communication Components
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 opens up new opportunities to develop compelling products for home and business.
Network Media Devices. You now have the ability to build networked media devices that can consume pictures, videos, and music from a Windows PC via a home network.
Digital Video Recorders. The DVR engine in CE 6.0 empowers you to build devices that can record multiple video streams to a hard drive for later playback
Cellular Networks. The new Cellcore components help enable your CE 6.0 powered devices to easily make data connections and initiate voice calls through cellular networks.
Windows Network Projectors. Users can now connect their Windows Vista™ laptop to a CE 6.0-based projector wirelessly or over any IP network.
Powerful Development Environment
By adding Platform Builder to Visual Studio 2005, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 helps deliver a superior unified embedded developer experience. Developers can now use one common familiar environment to develop both application and operating system software. Development advantages include:
Visual Studio 2005. Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 has been created as a plug-in for Visual Studio 2005 and is customized for developing embedded operating systems and components.
Application Development Options. You can go native or managed by choosing your preferred Microsoft development technology—Win32, MFC, or the .NET Compact Framework (C#, VB).
Device Emulation. The new ARM-based device emulator included with Platform Builder makes it easy to configure, build, and test operating system images.
Editors. Coding and building are faster. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 editors now incorporate Intellisense technology, syntax highlighting, and graphical bib and registry file editors.
Improved Compilers. Based on Visual Studio 2005, the latest compilers increase C++ language conformance; provide better libraries; support CRT, ATL, and MFC; and offer improved run-time security checks (/GS).
Source Code Access. Access to CE 6.0 source code helps developers debug, test, and make changes to an OS image. It also allows you to modify the operating system software to create differentiated features while maintaining control over your intellectual property.
Price
Development Tools: $995.00 USD
Runtime License Cost: (per runtime shipped):
$3.00 USD for Core SKU*
(The Core SKU is a subset of the Windows Embedded CE Core operating system features.)
$16.00 USD for Professional SKU*
(The Professional SKU is a higher-end license that is ideal for devices that require rich multimedia and graphics.)
* Run-time pricing is based on purchase volume of one unit (except Windows CE Core based on 1000 units). Volume discounts are available. Local taxes, tariffs and other costs may apply. Contact a Windows Embedded Authorized Distributor for details.
A complete list of the components included in Windows Embedded CE Core and Windows Embedded CE Pro is available at the Microsoft Download Center.
Details on each component are available at the MSDN Library.
For complete pricing and licensing information, please contact a Microsoft Windows Embedded Authorized Distributor.
In conclusion, this is for manufacturers/developers only. It is of no use to us.

Sounds this is just for developers

Availability of optional Java Packages

Hi,
is there a detailed specification for the HTC devices like for Nokia phones? There are some optional Java packages which not every manufacturer of mobiles implements, e.g. JSR82 (Bluetooth API), JSR135 (Mobile Media API), JSR179 (Location API) ... (http://java.sun.com/javame/reference/apis.jsp)
More precisely, I am interested in the exact Java specification of HTC Prophet and Artemis, perhaps also of a small smartphone with fewer features and less weight.

I believe this is a function of the midlet manager that your phone uses. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339579

Google announces Android 2.0 platform

Dont know if this has been posted before, just read it over at neowin.
(not my wording)
Google has announced today the new Android 2.0 platform.
Android 2.0 brings new developer APIs for sync, Bluetooth, and some other areas. Developers can now write applications to enable users to sync their devices to various contact sources. With the new Bluetooth API, developers can easily add peer-to-peer connectivity or gaming to their applications.
Google has published a full list of improvements but amongst the improvements here are the best ones we have found:
•Email - Exchange support
•Messaging - Search support
•Camera - Built-in flash support, Digital zoom
•Keyboard - Improved virtual keyboard to help with correct characters and typing speed
•Browser - HTML5 support, double tap zoom, tap the address bar for instant searches and navigation
•Bluetooth 2.1 support, Object Push Profile (OPP) and Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) support
With the amount of operating system additions and improved support for multiple screen sizes and Bluetooth 2.1, we'd expect to see a whole range of new Android devices ready for when 2.0 is ready.
