then I stand corrected. However, I couldn't find anything related to the Windows Embedded Handheld framework to download. Where can I download information to get me started? It seems there are no updates as of yet (it said 2nd half of 2010).

I hope you are right but to me it still looks dead.

I work in the mobile industry - providing custom mobile solutions to other companies.

Here's what we're getting both from the press and our customers:

- Windows Mobile and Windows CE are dead. It will be around for years because of legacy devices, but very, very few people will seek to purchase new Windows Mobile devices.

- People are very interested in iOS, at the same time they are very aware of how Closed it is compared to other offerings.

- When talking of investment in new devices, customers are usually - talking about Android.

Erel's company has limited resources. I think he is applying the resources perfectly.

My company works with alot of the big industrial mobile computer companys (motorola, intermec, honeywell) and we're hearing that Windows Embedded Handheld should be around for a while - but CE should be getting an update first.

The customers we deal with are looking for rugged devices, of which there are no iOS capable devices and few android ones. There will be more Android devices as time goes on - but without Google really supporting enterprise deployment, their legs in the corporate space will be limited.

I think our current situation is a case of microsoft just being dead ass slow.

Just as an update here... this may be why the next version of 'embedded handheld' has fallen off the roadmap...

at least you should fix the bug that can't delete temp file on desktop,it's harmful to debug program.

If you mean the temporary image file you posted about before then it is not a bug it is a deliberate design feature of the Compact Framework to lock the source file of an image while that image still exists.

but on device you could delete the temp file without any change.

well,but i'm not glad to always link my phone debuging program...
