WinCE is the underlying technology that Windows Mobile runs on and is the source of its crappyness power.

Meh, Mobile, WinCE. Same dog, different spots. It's still Windows and it's still produced by Microsoft. Bah. And here I was hoping that Samsung would actually do something intelligent. :rolls eyes:

From other search results it definitely seems to be destined to be a WinMo infected device, probably Mobile 6.5 rather than 6.1.

Hey, anything is an improvement over WinCE/Mobile. Even Symbian. Although Symbian is now open source, so Maemo's gonna have some competition here really soon. ;)

Well, having owned a PDA with CE for 5 years and an n810 for 1 year, I'm ready to go back to CE any time.
At least there's software on CE that works and does what you need, I'm really fed up with 1000 half-baked crap opensource apps that only do 10% of what you need.
And this remark is coming from an open-source contributor... so guess how disappointed I am in what the n810 has to offer.

One word of advice for the people who posted that CE is crap: get a device and use it for a year. It may not be hackable or cool, but it is a tool that simply works and gets the job done. My 5 year old PDA still works perfectly and is for some tasks even faster than the n810 - go figure.

I had a hp ipaq 4700 and it still is after 5 years way ahead of the nokia tablet--and has not lost its resale value
