With the LP-E, you can connect to any compatible Ethernet network, home network or office LAN using a variety of Windows- based mobile computers. The card allows you to synchronize to your corporate LAN at up to 10 million bps — 500 times faster than a standard serial port. Use Socket’s LP-E to dramatically reduce the time needed to install software, transfer large multimedia or map files, or back up and restore your device. The first Ethernet adapter compatible with Pocket PCs, the Socket LP-E supports Plug-and-Play with the NE2000 drivers built into many devices. For these devices, software installation is totally optional — the LP-E is ready to use right out of the box. Hardware Versions The card is available in both a standard version, with removable cable, and Ruggedized version, with non- removable cable. About the Software The Socket LP-E utility for Windows Mobile provides special tools to enhance your networking experience. The auto-launch tool enables you to configure your device to automatically launch any program of your choice whenever the LP-E is inserted. Icons indicate your GoodLink and Activity status at a glance. Additionally, an applet makes it easy to view TCP/IP addresses as well as the LP-E’s MAC address. Support for square screens and landscape mode is included. For software updates: www.socketcom.com/support/support_ethernet.asp CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 3 System Requirements Your device should meet these minimum requirements: • Any of the following Windows versions: - Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE and Windows Mobile 5.0 - Windows CE 3.0 or greater - Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98SE or 95* • Available CF or PC Card slot (Operation in PC Card slot requires a PC Card adapter.) • Windows Mobile 5.0 devices require ActiveSync 4.0 or greater Windows NT 4.0: Please register your product online at www.socketcom.com/prodreg and submit an online inquiry to obtain the correct drivers and software.

The current version of Windows Embedded Compact supports x86 and ARM processors with board support package (BSP) directly.[3] The MIPS and SHx architectures had support prior to version 7.0. On every version, changing the view options like showing hidden stuff in the Windows folder will lead you a bunch of stuff. Most of them are just images, while those files are a bunch of system files. The "homelogo" file is used in Internet Explorer Mobile, it can be seen on the home page (it Developer Microsoft probably appears on 6.0 and lower) and on these versions, it haves the old CE logo that can be customized on the desktop to make it look like a OS family Windows old version. Working state Supported Contents [show] Source model Closed Source Released November 16, 1996 Features as Windows CE 1.0 Windows CE is optimized for devices that have minimal memory; a Windows CE kernel may run with one megabyte of memory.[4] Devices Final release 8.0 (Embedded Compact 2013) are often configured without disk storage, and may be configured as a June 13, 2013 "closed" system that does not allow for end-user extension (for instance, it can be burned into ROM).

When PC Magazine last covered mobile development in the fall of 2002, mobile corporate applications were just emerg- ing. Since then handhelds have become more powerful, with faster CPUs and more memory, and development tools have come a long way. For this story, we evaluated four mobile development tools by building our own application to help taxi drivers record their fares. We tested the mobile versions of two com- peting programming environments: Java 2 Micro Edition and Microsoft .NET Compact Framework. DEVELOPERS' DECISION: J5f1E OR .NET CF? Sun Microsystems' Java beat Microsoft to the punch in adding mobile capabili- ties to its programming environment via J2ME and reaching out to all vari- eties of mobile devices, including cell phones and Palm OS PDAs. Microsoft .NET CF is comgetitive thanks to its richness and ease of use, but it works only with Pocket PC-based devices. Pocket PC devices are expensive but powerful and favored by big enterprises. The rise of Pocket PC coincides with the launch last year of.NET CF, which gives programmers a subset of the full .NET Framework for desktop and server devel- opment. Its unified model means an easier development process, because what works on a desktop works on a mobile device. Besides offering a rich set of controls, fea- Clear skies ahead for mobile tures for enterprise developers like Web services support are standard in .NET CF.

It was originally developed as Windows CE in 1996. However, Windows Mobile first appeared in 2000 as Pocket PC 2000. ‘Pocket PC’ came to be known as Windows Mobile in 2003 after which it started coming in different versions as that of Windows and was mostly used by business and enterprise consumers. It became the most popular smart phone in U.S. until 2007.But afterwards; it started losing its popularity. After the launch of other operating systems like iOS and Android, in February 2010, Microsoft announced Windows Phone to supplant Windows Mobile. After that, Windows Mobile has been deplored. The last version of Windows Mobile was released after the announcement of Windows Phone. That last version is 6.5.5. But, this version was not able to run in newly developed Windows Phone because Windows Phone was not compatible with Windows Mobile devices and software. Microsoft finally stopped developing the Windows Mobile and started developing Windows Phone only. Windows Phone basically aimed at the consumer market instead of enterprise market.
