Where to find Windows CE resources online (continued)

Reviews
Computer magazines dedicate many pages to hardware and software reviews. If you haven't looked lately for a magazine dedicated to Windows CE I'll save you the trouble. Don't bother, you won't find any others. The Windows CE Power Magazine you're reading now is currently the only magazine available for Windows CE users! Fortunately, the Web fills this void very nicely. WinCELair at http://www.celair.com is a sister site to the CEMonster site previously mentioned. It is probably the most complete review site on the Web for Windows CE. And in case you are interested, CELair has a very nice speed comparison of devices at http://www.celair.com/wincespeed.htm.

Julie Strietelmeier, otherwise known as The Gadgeteer, has a very complete review site of many things electronic, including Windows CE devices, at http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/hpc.html#Reviews.

News
It comes as no surprise that the Web has the most up-to-date news about Windows CE. If you are looking for the latest news about Windows CE, the first place you should look, of course, is our own Windows CE Power Magazine News Center at http://www.windowscepower.com/news/news.html. Also, check out PDA-Dispatch at http://www.pda-dispatch.com/. This site is usually updated daily with comments on the latest news about all PDA devices including Windows CE and Palm Computing. I also like HPC.net at http://windowsce.com/ for finding links to Windows CE news articles. Finally, if you're interested in news about the Palm Computing devices, check out Windows CE Power Magazine's sister publication, PalmPower. You can read PalmPower's news at http://www.palmpower.com.

Documentation
Of all of the sites already listed in this article, perhaps the most important ones to know are the following ones that provide information on how to use your Windows CE device. The most widely acknowledged site is Chris De Herrera's Windows CE Web site at http://www.cewindows.net. Chris has dozens of FAQs that provide detailed instructions on items such as ActiveSync and networking using an Ethernet card. He also maintains comparisons of all Windows CE devices that include links to the vendor's web sites.

Microsoft Windows CE resources
Microsoft maintains a complete site on Windows CE, starting at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/. An important page is their download page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/downloads/pccompanions/default.asp, which contains updates to the Windows CE software.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions, or FAQS, are documents that contain answers to questions commonly asked about various topics. People who create the documents do so in order to prevent the same questions from being repeatedly asked in newsgroups -- and to help out their fellow computer users. If you have a question, checking the FAQ might provide you with an answer faster than posting the question in a newsgroup.

The FAQ for the microsoft.public.windowsce newsgroup can be found at http://windowsce.kensai.com/faq. A FAQ specific to the Palm-sized PC is at http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/3533/palmfaqs.html#top. Many of the vendors also provide FAQs on their web sites. You can find a list of more FAQs, along with many other Windows CE Internet resources, at http://www.cewindows.net/other_info.htm.
