The windows CE platform will be the "standard" for handhelds.  The OS will
fork in 3+ ways to dominate the market.

Windows CE embedded - to control devices which stand alone or are connected to
the "net".  In medicine, we will see these in Monitoring devices etc.

Windows CE auto - to control automotive functions, including entertainement.

Windows CE - Hand held - PC companion systems.  Currently > 10 vendors, 3 main
form factors - Palm PC - very small, due out 2nd quarter, HPC - keyboard 1/2
VGA +/- Color and HPC - no keyboard 1/2 VGA +/- color.

The software tools look better on paper than in real life.  The key to making
these devices successful in the medical world will be the ability to connect
them to a server either wirelessly or wired.
