What are the major differences between Windows CE and Windows Mobile for a programmer?


What are the major differences between Windows CE and Windows Mobile for a programmer? I'd love to find a feature table, but haven't been able to find one on the Microsoft web site.

I'm starting to work on a project involving industrial handheld terminals. I'm early into the design phase and need to find a comparison of Windows CE and Windows Mobile.

Many of the people I'll be talking to jump on the first option that sounds "good enough". I want my first suggestion to be the best based on their needs.

We're talking heavy duty hardware with a heavy duty price. I've got to get the programming questions out of the way early.

We're currently a MFC6 and .Net 2.0 shop


Solution

  • No big difference between them, you can Target Windows CE from VS and your application will work on both Windows CE and Windows Mobile. because you are working under Compact Framework so that's logical, for me as a developer working on PDAs, just I find deference when I tried to make full screen program.
