WINDOWS CE POWER MAGAZINE - FEBRUARY 2000

Next generation AutoPCs make a big debut at CES
This year's CES (Consumer Electronics Show) was huge, the biggest contributing editor Mark Moeller has seen, with many interesting new products displayed. Three new Auto PCs and one new peripheral were demonstrated at the show. All of the new systems feature faster processors, bigger screens, MP3 playback, and more advanced user interfaces. However, each of the companies has focused on different areas, giving the consumer a really nice choice in feature sets. Read this article to learn more about each of these new Auto PC marvels.

The virtual wallet
There are a number of virtual wallet programs in the Windows CE marketplace. These programs allow you to store replicas of the items you carry in your physical wallet, such as your credit cards, bankcards, memberships, and even your photos. In addition, they allow you to store other important information, such as those pesky serial numbers and registration IDs for all your software programs. Furthermore, most of these programs are fully configurable, so you can modify the program to meet your personal data needs. In this article, Contributing Editor Clifford Brooks checks out MediaWallet, the latest offering from Applian Technologies, Inc.

HP hotkeys, OK buttons, and file existence
This month, bSQUARE's Andrew Tucker takes a look at a hidden feature that should be of interest to all users of Hewlett Packard (HP) Jornada H/PCs and H/PC Pros. It shows you how to create an OK button in the title bar of your dialog box; how to test for the existence of a file on your Windows CE device even if it's in ROM; and how to get a listview to select a whole row at a time instead of just the first column.

A student's view of Windows CE
It's a little known fact that one of our favorite Contributing Editors, Dan Huber, is in his junior year in high school. It's hard to believe, because his writing is so professional. This month, Dan takes on a topic near and dear to his heart: the affordability of Windows CE devices for students. If you're a student, a parent, or want to reach this incredibly valuable demographic, you should read Dan's article.
