30.9.2007 Top 10 Windows Freeware tools for 2005
As we head into 2005’s home stretch, I thought I’d do a round-up of my top 10 pieces of Windows Freeware for 2005. Some of these aren’t new, but certainly what I’d consider essential. Some on the other hand, are new. I’ve tried to avoid the instantly popular ones like Firefox and Opera, although I did give way to Winamp and Konfabulator in the end. But hey, it’s my top 10. If you don’t like it, post your own.

Want to build your own Windows XP Embedded Kernel? Want to know the ridiculous amount of embedded devices that are expected to sell in 2010? Satisfy
your curiosity! Here’s a short video of Channel 8’s Christian Liensberger interviewing Olivier Bloch (from Microsoft France’s
Embedded Devices group) at the TechEd's "Ask The Experts". Olivier talks a bit about what they’ve been working on for the last ten years
and shows a few very small devices that are capable of, and are, running Windows CE. He also talks about how students and hobbyists will be able to
get involved without having to worry about major costs (free SDK but the image will be time-bombed). If you’d like all the juicy details on the
future of Embedded Devices and Windows CE tools, you’ll have to wait until next week for the Microsoft announcement! For now, you'll have to
be satisfied with this 10 minute video, which just so happens to be packed with juicy details.

25.12.2007Qt release supports Windows CE targets
Trolltech has started shipping a preview version of Qt that supports Windows CE as a build target. The Qt toolkit allows desktop applications built on
Qt to be recompiled for Windows CE with minimal changes, according to the company.
Qt is an application development framework intended to let
developers compile binaries for various platforms -- Windows, Mac, Linux, and now Windows CE -- from a single C++ code base. Its API (application
programming interface) comprises some 400 C++ class libraries, and is consistent across all supported platforms, Trolltech says.
<...> Pre-release downloads of Qt 4.4 are available on Trolltech's website,
here . A link for the latest technical preview of
Qt for Windows CE had not been provided at the time of writing, but more information should be available from the company's website,
here . Additionally, a five-minute "screencast" demo may

31.12.2007Microsoft 'Chelan': A new Windows Embedded platform takes shape

Windows Mobile 7 is likely to be built on the Embedded CE 6.X platform, I’d wager. (I’m hedging because don’t know either of these

17.01.2006Toshiba announces 160 GB 1.8" CE-ATA hard drive
Coinciding with the release of a 160 GB iPod, Toshiba today announced a 160 GB 1.8" hard drive, which will be available with a CE-ATA interface later
this year.
Toshiba's new MK-series 160 GB drive is the highest-capacity drive announced in the 1.8" segment so far, but is also
the firm's first hard drive to integrate a CE-ATA interface, which has been developed for consumer electronics applications.
The
MK series comes in two versions, as a PATA 1-platter 80 GB versions as well as the CE-ATA 2-platter 160 GB model. The storage density is 228 Gb/square
inch in either case. The PATA model is rated at a slightly higher performance (66 MB/s data transfer rate) than the CE-ATA version (52 MB/s), but the
CE-ATA model is promised to be more power efficient (0.002 watt/GB compared to 0.004 watt/GB in the PATA version “ which means that both drives are
rated at the same power consumption overall).
The 160 GB "MK1626GCB" is also slightly higher at 8 mm, as compared to the 5 mm
height of the 80 GB "MK8022GAA", which is interestingly about the same difference that is listed by Apple for the new iPod Classic models.

06.09.2007Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Gets a 200% Boost with Datalight Software
Datalight, Inc. today
announced support for the
Microsoft Windows Embedded CE
6.0 platform within its
patented data management
software. Datalight Reliance
and FlashFX Pro can double
performance on Windows
Embedded CE 6.0 when
implemented together.
As embedded device
memory requirements grow more
complex, the case for
professional data management
software becomes more
compelling. Datalight FlashFX
Pro is a flash media manager
that offers drop-in support
for over 200 different flash
parts. Reliance is a file

control over performance
without risking data
corruption. When used
together, Reliance and FlashFX
Pro create a seamless flash
file system that vastly
outperforms native and "home
grown" solutions, with
performance increases for some
operations of over 200%.
FlashFX Pro
is ideally suited for projects
where performance cannot be
sacrificed. Test results have
shown that when using FlashFX
Pro in a Windows Embedded CE
6.0 environment, write
performance on NAND flash can
be increased by more than
200%, while read performance
improves by at least 20%...
