Microsoft Readies CDMA WinCE Software
Posted by Janak Parekh in "SOFTWARE" @ 02:34 PM
Seems like the missing link to seeing CDMA Pocket PC Phones and Smartphones is finally dropping into place.
"Microsoft's push into mobile computing fills a gap this week when it releases its Smartphone and Pocket PC software for CDMA-compliant handheld devices."
They also mention the Hitachi NC1 communicator, which I believe is the name for the unit I reported on earlier (still no specs on the unit, though). My guess is that these devices have been under development while Pocket PC Phone Edition/Smartphone CDMA was in beta, and if it ships now, we might see a flurry of devices in addition to the Hitachi finally appear, including the Samsung SCH-i600, the SPH-i700, and the HTC Falcon. If so, it'll be great news for North American wireless users.
