Overview
Windows CE Clear & Simple teaches readers how to use, customize and optimize the new generation of palm-size and handheld PCs based on Microsoft's Windows CE operating system. Written by a topical expert who runs a very popular Windows CE Web site, this will be the first book to cover in detail Windows CE palm-size devices and the just-launched handheld PC Pro devices. Consistent with the "Clear & Simple" series, this book features a very visual and engaging style.Windows CE is the version of Microsoft's Windows operating system designed specifically for small portable computing devices (the non-Microsoft "Palm Pilot" is the most recent successful manifestation of these). Windows CE 2.0, the last major release, shipped in late 1997 but has been upgraded significantly since then. Originally only designed for larger "Handheld PCs" (H/PCs), a new version of Windows CE in 1998 optimized the system for powerful H/PCs and enabled the system to run on smaller "Palm-Sized PCs" (P/PCs). The H/PC market has begun to grow rapidly, and Windows CE's share of the hot P/PC market is quickly increasing.
