Mobile Handheld Design Template (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Mobile Handheld design template provides a starting point for mobile devices with a clamshell-and-keyboard style design.
Overview
A mobile handheld device is a portable device that gives a user access to a variety of functionality. The following list shows some examples of portable device features:
- Internet access
- Address book
- Calendar
With the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard in Platform Builder, you can select the Mobile Handheld design template as a starting point for a mobile device with a clamshell-and-keyboard style design. Then, you can customize the OS design to fit your needs.
The Catalog items that you use to configure your OS design can vary.
Security Issues
For information about security issues that can affect the Mobile Handheld OS design, see the following topics:
- ActiveSync Registry Settings
- Authentication Services Security
- Cryptography Security
- LDAP Security
- RAS Server/PPTP Server (Incoming) Security
- Windows Media Player Control Security
- Windows Networking API/Redirector Security
Mobile Handheld Catalog Items
The Mobile Handheld design template is located in the PDA Device category in the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.
By default, when you use the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard to create an OS design based on the Mobile Handheld design template, Platform Builder includes a specific set of Catalog items in the OS design.
After you finish with using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, you can add other Catalog items to your OS design. For more information, see Adding an Item from the Catalog.
