What are the main differences between Windows CE and Windows Mobile for a programmer?
What are the main differences between Windows CE and Windows Mobile for a programmer? I would have liked to find the feature table but could not find it on the Microsoft website.
I am starting to work on a project using industrial handheld terminals. I am in development phase and need to find a comparison between Windows CE and Windows Mobile.
Many of the people I talk to will go for the first option, which sounds "good enough." I want my first offer to be the best based on their needs.
We are talking about heavy duty machines with a high price tag. I have to get programming questions from the beginning.
We are currently an MFC6 and .Net 2.0 store

There isn't much of a difference between the two, you can set the Target Windows CE on VS and your application will run on both Windows CE and Windows Mobile. because you work in the Compact Framework, so it makes sense, for me as a developer working on a PDA, I just find my respect when I try to make a full screen program.

Windows CE and Windows Mobile are two different entities. In many cases, they differ in a very large way!
In your case, being an OEM and having one HW to target, you should choose Windows CE. With Windows CE, you choose which components to include in the image, and most importantly, the licensing scheme. Windows Mobile is more expensive and requires a high cost certification program. With Windows CE, you can store expensive components that you don't use from an image, and thus reduce costs.
In any case - Windows CE and Windows Mobile are not the same thing. And Windows Mobile is not
Windows CE with added phone
Windows Mobile is based on Windows CE 5, but different.
