I'm new to CE. Could someone explain...
-
I'm completely new to the world of CE. I've been developing COM/ATL/MFC (and Visual Basic when forced) for several years now and though I did playh around with the Palm SDK when I bought my Palm V a while ago, I've really no experience in this arena. Today I was assigned with investigating and creating a Requirements spec and Project Plan for a new project involving the Compaq iPaq PDA. I can't really get into details but suffice it to say it's an application running on Windows CE that will utilize the serial port to send/receive data. The problem is my boss wants me to focus on Windows CE, not Pocket PC. I never knew there was a difference? What IS the difference? Is it simply that the Aero 1550 model is just missing a color LCD and the glitzy software package with the Pocket IE, Pocket Word, Media Player, etc with a slower processor? Are there differences in the SDK or am I limited with Microsoft technology more so with the Aero than with a full featured Pocket PC version like the H3600?

OEMs can customize WinCE to suite their needs. You will have to read the specs of the device you want to use to determine what is does and does not support and what flator of WinCE it uses (if it uses WinCE at all).
