Sunday, April 28, 2002Pocketnow: Introduction to Smartphone 2002 for Pocket PC developers. A straight-forward look at what is new, missing, and changed.
Casio's developer site has what appears to be a new SDK for the BE-300 with .NET upgrade, but the documentation says that it doesn't support the Compact Framework and there is no indication of the .NET CLR being available. Puzzling...
The BE-300 is not a Pocket PC, rather it runs Windows CE with Casio's own shell and applications. Casio seems to be targeting the industrial space instead of the general business/consumer market. Except for a keyboard, Casio offers virtually every accessory that may be needed, from WLAN cards to barcode scanners, PC Card sleeves to extended batteries. The $199 price tag makes it an easy purchase for a specific application. No need to ruggedize it, for the price it is disposable.
I'm interesting in targeting the BE-300 if the .NET CLR become available. I'm planning to work on a business-oriented CMS package, with PDA extensions, and being able to support such an inexpensive device would be advantageous.
