In yesterdays announcement about Windows Embedded Handheld was buried an interesting piece of information. At the bottom of Senior Project Manager David Wurster's blog posting was this paragraph:

According to analyst firm VDC Research, Microsoft is the leader in providing a platform for creating software solutions that power ruggedized handheld terminals and devices: Microsoft Windows Embedded CE and Windows Mobile 6 operating systems accounted for 87 percent of the approximately 2.3 million ruggedized handheld devices shipped in 2009.

We have noticed that there are relatively few ruggedized devices running Linux or Android, and of course none running iOS. For this reason ITScriptNet only supports Windows CE and Windows Mobile devices.
