If there were 100s of hardware devices that supported this then the price would be low. This is the cutting edge and early adoption costs!http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/cheller/A-Look-at-the-NET-Micro-Framework/?CommentID=433163Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:47:03 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/posts/cheller/A-Look-at-the-NET-Micro-Framework/?CommentID=4331630http://channel9.msdn.com/433163/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0@minh - it's probably so expensive because its the only piece of hardware.
