I've got a mini notebook on its way to me and it runs Windoes CE 5.0. Apparently a lot of notebooks are running this, although I've never heard of it! Will the portable apps on this site work on Win CE? It comes with really basic apps like Wordpad, and I would like to be able to run some decent programs on it but are they compatible? Also, I've heard that Win CE comes with an old version on IE and doesn't have any flash support, is there a flash player with the Firefox portable app? If anyone could tell me if they work, if they are using them on a notebook with Win CE that would be great! I havent got a clue about these kind of things.
That's not good:o(! I can't really see myself being happy using 'wordpad' for what work I need to do on it for as long as I own it! Perhaps I will send it back. Was hoping I could use portable apps because there's so little storage space on notebooks (well this one anyway!). Well, every single notebook I've seen (in my price range) has said it runs either win CE 5.0 or 6.0. I bought mine on Ebay, they're everywhere!
There's cheap Hong Kong generic notebooks all running CE on there. Why would they put it on a 'laptop' if its incompatible with good things!
I don't know! Thanks for the reply! Well, you can still hold it on your lap; I'd guess that would make an Etch-a-Sketch a 'laptop'.
I figure it is an example of 'buyer beware'. You may be better off paying slightly more for a branded 'real Win' machine like an Asus, Acer, or the like to get software compatibility. Even there, be careful about whether it says WinXP, Win7 or some version of Linux (I am a Asus Linux user and have chosen to live with the compatibility issues for the past two years. My other home machines are also Linux; my wife is a Mac user).
Thanks, I've been well and truly scammed through my own lack of knowledge about OS's!!! All these laptops saying they have 'windows' when they really mean WinCE and then people like me who know nothing about anything buy them thinking they can install a different OS later on or use windows programs on it just like any other 'windows' OS etc etc are completely stuck! Its awful, none of the sellers on sites like Ebay highlight the limitations of WinCE! It's a stupid thing to put on there, and I shall be very careful in finding another notebook! Hello, Germany is the actual aim of tiny netbooks working with wince. Several warehouse-chains and online electronic-dealers offer the 'Allfine PC703 Mini Notebook'.

Windows Ce Apps
Been waiting 4 hours see what hapends lol.nothing at all just the windows ce logo.plus when starting up it will say press F1. Cant get passed that cuz its asking us for a pass work.sorry about this for asking plzzzzzzzz help us thx very so much Ian. With wince most of the devices flash the system to memory and you can't delete it. There is often a soft reset - the button and a hard reset, often the power button plus the reset button for a few seconds - the book should tell you.
If that is no luck you might go to the manufacturer site and see if they have a download program to flash the system fresh - beware it as well as the hard reset will probably wipe any data you have added. There is a ton of cd software around, they used it in all the business small units for years. What has been said is fairly accurate but you might see if it will fit your needs.
