Software for

Pocket PC 2002

(Windows CE)

The software for the Pocket PC was designed and written using the
eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 IDE and compiler, in conjunction with the
Pocket PC 2002 Software Development Kit (SDK). Both are provided
free from Microsoft.
The Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 deliver a complete desktop
development environment for creating applications and system com-
ponents for Windows-powered devices, including the Pocket PC and
Handheld PC.

The eMbedded Visual Tools include eMbedded Visual Basic and
eMbedded Visual C++, including SDKs for the Pocket PC 2000, Palm-
size PC, and Handheld PC. The eMbedded Visual Tools are the suc-
cessor to the separate Windows CE Toolkits for VC++ and VB. This
version is stand-alone and does not require Visual Studio. Read the
specifications on the data sheet.
The Pocket PC 2002 SDK allows you to write enterprise and consumer
applications for this innovative platform. The Pocket PC 2002 SDK
provides a brand new Pocket PC 2002 device emulator, more docu-
mentation, and more samples. In addition, this SDK includes all the
necessary application programming interfaces (APIs) and documenta-
tion for both Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition
devices.
