Windows CE finds its voice
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Wednesday is set to unveil enhancements to the VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) capabilities of Windows CE in the upcoming Version 5.0, as well as several partnerships with manufacturers and integrators that will use the platform.
The operating system forms the basis of Microsoft's platforms for embedded, automotive and mobile computing. A lot of vendors want to add VOIP as an application to wireless handhelds and other devices, said John Starkweather, a product manager in Microsoft's Embedded Devices Group. The Redmond, Washington, company plans to announce the VOIP enhancements at the Voice on the Net (VON) conference taking place this week in Santa Clara, California.
