And as a result, Windows CE may have a shot at wireless. (Altho most of the following from Yahoo covers embedded uses) ......ARM Establishes Consortium for Windows CE to Drive Development of New Solutions Based on the ARM Architecture for Emerging Segments for Windows CE 4 Leading Silicon Vendors to Develop Solutions for Windows CE with the ARM Architecture .... members of the consortium will be working together to optimize development of solutions for Windows CE based on the ARM(R) architecture for the emerging portable, multimedia, automotive and vertical embedded markets. The consortium is expected to increase the number of solutions that are brought to market by ARM partners. The consortium members are actively developing a broad range of Windows CE-based optimized solutions focusing on ARM core-based ultra low-power, low cost highly integrated system chip solutions for portable and high performance multi-media products. .... Membership of the consortium is available to ARM silicon partners targeting the Windows CE category with ARM Powered optimized solutions. The membership currently includes: Cirrus Logic, Intel, LG Semicon, and Texas Instruments with more partners to be announced soon. ... ''Each of these partners offer unique technologies and services, that when combined with ARM's proven processor technology, satisfy the complete range of product requirements for Windows CE.''.... and Intel's StrongARM is available today....
