What is the latest version of PocketPC?
Is it based on Windows CE v3 or Windows CE v4?
Does it support DCOM or can it be made to?
What is the best commercially available hand held device that runs this?

Thanks

Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition is the latest. It's based on CE.NET 4.2.

I'm not sure if it supports DCOM or not. You don't want to use DCOM on CE.

We have built a theater controller device running windows CE.Net 4 that uses
DCOM to control all sorts of devices in our theaters. It works really well.
We want to implement the same interfaces on a hand held and slip it in to
the existing architecture.

OK. I just compiled my DCOM Readiness Test program for the PPC 2003 SDK and
it *does* compile. Obviously, that doesn't mean that it will work, but it
does appear to run on the emulator, at least. I don't see the dcomcfg
program on the emulator, either.

I just downloaded the SDK and emulator. I created an ATL .exe project and
tried to add an ATL object to it. An error box came back with the message
cannot add object to exe project without DCOM support. I believe this is
telling me that the platform has no DCOM support :(.

Well, that's too bad, isn't it? I guess it's back to the Pocket PC-like
CE.NET 4.2 device...
