What's New in Windows CE 4.2 Google Search It This summary of key features was taken from here: Here's a sample of some of the highlights for the release of Windows CE .NET 4.2: .NET Compact Framework 1.0 and Microsoft® eMbedded Visual C++® 4.0 SP2. New Platform Wizard configurations, including Digital Media Receiver, Enterprise Terminal, Residential Gateway, and Voice over IP (VoIP) Phone. Improved Windows CE .NET Test Kit (CETK) features and a new Modular Stress Test for the CETK. Board support packages (BSPs) for two new standard development boards (SDBs): Samsung SMDK2410 hardware platform, based on the S3C2410X01 CPU (ARM920T core), and NEC Solution Gear 2 (SG2) series platform, based on MIPS CPUs. New drivers, including Flash Media, Human Interface Device (HID) Client, and Unified Keyboard. Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows CE now includes Internet Explorer 6.0 features, Multiple Language (MLANG) support, and more cascading style sheets (CSSs). Four prequalified Bluetooth profiles: Dial-up Networking Profile, LAN Access Profile, Object Push Profile, and File Transfer Profile. One of the cool features that I know some of you have been asking about for some time is having a file server running on Windows CE .NET. You will extremely happy to know that with the release of Windows CE .NET 4.2, you now have File and Print server support in the operating system. 4:55:27 AM   []    comment []

On "Why has 802.11 flourished and Bluetooth failed?". Google Search It I would comment more on what Bob Frankston writes here but frankly, I believe he missed the point of Bluetooth entirely and that this is pretty obvious by the fact that he tries to lump 802.11x and Bluetooth as targeting the same space since they are both wireless protocols.  Pheweeey!  Comments below the article, such as "Cost, Size, Battery" effectively present the counter arguments so I won't repeat. 4:26:35 AM   []    comment []
