Following up on our earlier articles about the future of Windows Mobile for data collection devices, here is the official Microsoft site for what is now being called Windows Embedded Handheld. This is what used to be called Windows Mobile, and is the version that will be used by handheld devices (as opposed to Windows Phone 7, which will be used in consumer phone handsets). The current version is Windows Mobile 6.5.

Windows CE is being renamed Windows Embedded Compact Edition. Windows CE 7 is in CTP (Community Technology Preview) and will be released soon.

We have posted the July ITScriptNet News. Read about the updates to Solution Packs and new Ready-To-Go applications in the works.

Motorola has filed paperwork to split into two companies. The Enterprise division (formerly Symbol) that produces portable data collection devices will be in the 'Motorola Solutions' company, along with the Networking business. The Mobile Devices and Home and divisions will be the new Motorola Mobility company.
