WINDOWS CE POWER MAGAZINE - JUNE 1999

The AutoPC: Vision vs. Reality
Mark Moeller's an interesting guy. When he was at Microsoft, back in 1995, he was asked to design a computer for a car. His research became the original design for the AutoPC. What if you could be a bug on the wall and learn the original vision--not just what's on the market now--but the secrets of what might be possible? Now you can. This article's just one more exclusive insider story brought to you by the editors of Windows CE Power Magazine.

How Windows CE devices are designed and built
Ever wonder why it seems to take so long for a new device to come to market? You might hear about it in November, but not be able to buy it until June. Why? Of course, we have the answer. Read this informative article by Chris De Herrera and you'll get a behind the scenes view of how products are created.

Nostalgic, destructive, and constructive
Here at Windows CE Power, it's a lot of fun to get letters from readers. In this installment of our semi-regular Letters to the Editor series, we reprint a number of interesting letters. One fellow loves our publication while another is convinced we sold out to the dark side. What fun! We also include a fun dialog about ancient computers and answer the question, "Why isn't Windows CE Power a Mobile Channel?"

Ten great applications you'll just love
Jason Perlow's "Must have" article last month was among our all-time most popular. Apparently, you're way interested in cool toys for your Windows CE device. This month, Dan Huber provides a detailed look at ten of his favorite goodies. Get ready to download!

WINDOWS CE POWER BOOK CLUB
Meet Sun Tzu, avoid flogging and keelhauling
Despite the relatively small screen size of Windows CE devices, many owners have taken to downloading entire books into their devices. It's certainly more convenient to carry a number of reference works in your Windows CE device, rather than in your backpack or briefcase. Recognizing this interesting trend, Craig Froehle and John Swain, keepers of well-respected e-text repositories, write the Windows CE Power Book Club column. This month, they review The Art of War and Two Years Before the Mast (two must-read classics) and provide pointers to a variety of useful business documented including a guides to holidays, investment, and travel.

WINDOWS CE POWER SITE OF THE MONTH
The Gadgeteer
"Wow, that's cool!" Uniformly, this was everyone's first reaction when checking out our Site of the Month for June. If you love gadgets, if you can't resist buying the latest consumer electronics device, then you definitely need to check out The Gadgeteer and learn why it earned our award. Be prepared to drool.

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Make sure it's got a little 'Oooh' in it�
Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz has somehow managed to include Dilbert, Howard Stern, Pauly Shore, tangerine iMacs, and the Palm V into his Windows CE Power editorial (an admitted stretch). After eventually getting on a serious track, he enters into an important discussion of product design and style. Want your product to sell? Make sure it's got a little 'Oooh' in it.
