Or forget the ViewSonic and use hardware from someone who *does* have good
support. We don't have anything with no keyboard and a large display, but
you could see what we sell at www.lanpoint.com. There are also many more
handheld devices from companies like www.compsee.com, www.symbol.com
(although their support sucks, too), www.intermec.com, etc.
If you are in the midst of trying to learn about Windows CE application
programming, you'd have been better off to buy a used Pocket PC device, as
far as getting something cheap (of course, there's an emulator, too, that
comes with the various Pocket PC SDKs and which is free).
If you're more-interested in building Windows CE operating system images for
devices, start with an old PC and use the CEPC tutorials in the Platform
Builder help. You can download an evaluation copy of Platform Builder 6.0
from Microsoft. That will last you 180 days before you have to buy Platform
Builder.
