Windows Embedded CE Features
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 provides developers with the tools and technologies to deliver differentiated devices with an unparalleled user experience through rich, immersive user interfaces and seamless connections to Window PCs, Servers and online services.

Rich User Experiences

Deliver innovative and differentiated experiences to re-invent the way end users interact with your devices.

  • New: Silverlight for Windows Embedded
    Silverlight for Windows Embedded is a native code (C++) UI framework that enables the new designer/developer paradigm to dramatically improve the user interface on devices and the time & cost needed to deliver a differentiated experience.

  • New: Internet Explorer Embedded
    Internet Explorer feature enhancements like panning and zooming, Flash Lite 3.1 support, and a customizable application UI will dramatically improve the browsing experience you can deliver with the out of the box solution.

  • New: Touch and Gestures
    Touch/gesture input capabilities will enable natural user input to Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 devices to meet & exceed evolving end user expectations for user interaction.

  • Media Player
    Perform multiple actions beyond play, rewind, fast forward, pause, and stop. A new, powerful interface provides better web compatibility for Windows Embedded CE by supporting media player 7.0 OCX when browsing to sites.

Connected Experiences

Seamlessly connect to Windows devices, PCs, servers, and online services to extend the power of your device and deliver a consistent experience across devices, PCs, and the web.

  • Connectivity
    Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 extends the capabilities of existing CE devices to easily get connected to a network or the internet and stay connected. Invariably devices have multiple methods of connecting either LAN, WiFi, GPRS, Bluetooth or USB. The Connection Manager makes developing connected applications much simpler with a single API to request a network connection. Also an application can subscribe to connection status events to help manage connection quality.

  • New: Office and PDF Viewers
    Integrated Office and PDF viewing capabilities will enable users of CE devices to access their important information through devices beyond the phone and the PC.

  • Cellular Networks
    Develop devices that can easily make data connections and initiate voice calls through cellular networks using Cellcore Voice components.

  • Web Services on Devices API (WSDAPI)
    Rapidly build Web services applications to interact with network-connected devices. WSDAPI delivers rich metadata exchange and messaging in addition to built-in support for discovery, security, and event handling. The Windows Vista operating system provides native support for Windows Rally through WSDAPI.

  • Remote Desktop Protocol
    Enable Windows Embedded CE-based thin clients to connect using the latest version of Windows Server remote computing technologies with the Remote Desktop Protocol.
