Chris Tacke, eMV #2 / 5	name confusion - pocket pc or windows ce Pocket PC is a Platform based on an Adaptation Kit that lies on top of Windows CE 3.0. Basically it's a CE 3.0 device that has added applications and libraries on top of it. -- Chris Tacke, eMVP Windows CE Product Manager Applied Data Systems www.applieddata.net Quote: > ok, now is Pocket PC a platform or an OS name ?

SoftwareDumm #3 / 5	name confusion - pocket pc or windows ce thank you, that clears things up a bit. it seems there is Pocketpc for PDA's as well as pocketpc, phone edition. Then there is the smartphone 2002 platform. all of which are based on windows ce ? the difference being the APIs available and the SDK used to target the specific platform ? i think im getting there, the fog is lifting BTW - i just installed eVB and its working great. especially the emulator and built in de{filter}. this is just like VB6 so far thanks again Quote: > Pocket PC is a Platform based on an Adaptation Kit that lies on top of > Windows CE 3.0. > Basically it's a CE 3.0 device that has added applications and libraries on > top of it. > -- > Chris Tacke, eMVP > Windows CE Product Manager > Applied Data Systems > www.applieddata.net > > ok, now is Pocket PC a platform or an OS name ?

eMVP #4 / 5	name confusion - pocket pc or windows ce Pocket PC is a special configuration of Windows CE 3.0. It defines the minimum software and hardware configuration for a device which is referred to as a Pocket PC. All Pocket PCs of the same version have the same base API, therefore they can use the same SDK. Don't be surprised that this is confusing, it is to a lot of new Windows CE developers. The world of embedded development is different than desktop development. -- Bruce Eitman (eMVP) Senior Engineer Accelent Systems Inc. www.accelent.com Quote: > ok, now is Pocket PC a platform or an OS name ?
