How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Holy cow! Look at all these devices. Across the hall from Mike Hall's office is the Windows CE device lab. Mike, Technical Product Manager on the Windows CE team, gives us a 10-minute tour of the devices which range from retail point of sale devices, to
exercise bikes, to even sewing machines.
What does all this have to do with anything? Well, tomorrow he's going to show how to build a new operating system for one of these devices.

How much will it cost? And will it be sold
in Germany?
I need more info about this bike!
With regard to Mike’s comment that people tend think that WinCE is all about PDAs & SmartPhones, that this tendency is IMHO encouraged by Microsoft, which gives a lot of justified hype to those types of devices. Just to be clear, I think that they are great pieces of technology and IMHO have a much better user & developer story to offer when compared to the competition.
Since the.NET CF doesn’t offer a componentization capability, severely limiting the types of application that it can be used for, or in other words limiting the types of applications that it can be used develop to devices of a gadget like nature….. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Usually, when Microsoft talks about developing for WinCE they in almost all of the cases talk about developing using .NET CF and I think that the result of that is the tendency of people to associate WinCE with ‘gadget’ like devices.
.Asher.
I'm a Windows Embedded developer, and you hear so many people think that Pocket PC /is/ Windows CE. Now I have something to show them to prove it! Hehe
Thanks

Channel 9 at its best! Great video guys.
Thanks.
- Mike
Although, I must say this is probably one of the best videos I've seen on Channel 9. This relates more to my line of work. I wish there were more videos about things like XPe/WinCE and driver development. I would love to see a video on the new Windows Driver Framework.
Bring it on...

Mike, could you recommend generic Windows CE device, similar to ICOP's eBoxII?
I have an idea for Windows CE device, and I was going to get a reference board, but then the problem of casing came up. How would I make the case for the reference board? From wood, or lego blocks
(or am I missing something here?) The ICOP eBoxII is
generic enough but I would like to have a greater selection.
The problem I find there is no central repository of the available vendors/products that support Windows CE. Microsoft has provided fantastic embedded platform, easy to build application for, but access to hardware is bit scarce.

what do you need from the hardware ? - and what is the final device ? - the eBox is a neat low cost reference board that is also fairly high spec, 128MB RAM, 3xUSB, serial, parallel, Ethernet, PS/2 mouse/keyboard, video out, all for < $200. Are you looking for something similar to a PC/104 sized board that already has mounting holes on the board ?
Making a case out of Lego, now there's an idea....
- Mike
I am looking for something that I would not have to build the casing for. Final device specs...
If the above are too specific for a generic Windows CE device that has casing, than I may settle for a reference board. Thus how would one build casing for reference board of a final device? In the video there were two reference boards (one from company called Intrinsic). How did the reference boards got their casing? Did the companies supplied the casing for these reference boards?

I am building a device that loads up IE on fullscreen when the machine starts without the need of a human interaction. At the same time, I would like to be able to let my technicians access the network configuration settings in order to get the device connected on different networks.
Is windows Embedded the right choice or XP is best?
Thanks for your precious advices.

This is an awesome video. Are all these products sold in the market? Why are they not so getting publicised?
Looks like MS is into PC, Media Player, PDA, Smart phones, Sewing machines and even ATMs may be.
So my questions:
1) How do I get a job in this group?
2) What kind of S/w was used to develop this? Win 32 on a Win CE environment. (??)
3) Looks like once I have a smartphone with bluetooth enabled, the possibilites are just so endless.
I had worked in Motorola before trying to develop 3G network layers and haven't seen so many cool stuff in cool place since then.
You stay classy!!
Cool VoIP Phone.
We have to do Video Voip Phone.
We use Monahans and WinCE 5.0.
But it not have any Camera driver for WinCE5.0.
How can we to do?
We can modify Windows Mobile 5 .1 Carmera driver to Woindows CE 5.0 ?
