About Windows CE .NET

Windows CE is a version of the Windows operating system de-
signed for small devices such as personal digital assistants 
(PDAs) or handheld PCs. The Windows CE graphical user in-
terface (GUI) is very similar to desktop Windows operating sys-
tems. MobileMapper CE is embedded with Windows CE .NET 
4.2 Professional version.

Like most Windows CE devices, the MobileMapper CE hand-
held has a touch screen. To interact with the MobileMapper 
CE, use the stylus to tap on the touch screen.
