There appears to be some major confusion over what CE .NET is.   First of all, it is NOT .NET, the replacement of visual basic and Microsoft's way of sucking you into all of their services.  It IS the underlying OS for PocketPC.  

Microsoft in their wisdom rebranded WindowsCE to PokcetPC.  But .. PocketPC itself comes in many forms.  The handheld manufacturer could chose components from WindowsCE and bolt it together.  This is then called PocketPC.  The source of all these components is now called CE .NET.   Confused yet :-? So .. when Amiga Inc. are saying that they are producing AmigaAnywhere for CE .NET, it means PocketPC in terms of PDA's.

I suspect that they have licenced the AmigaDE player to be part of the CE .NET distribution.

SO WHAT HAS CHANGED FROM BEFORE  :-?  :-?  Nothing really.  They could play AmigaDE apps on  PocketPC PDA's before!!

I mean, immagine if Amiga Inc released the following press release:

Amigas Inc releases AmigaAnywhere!!
Amiga, Inc. is pleased to introduce its new line of products, a complete solution for the delivery of content to any type of digital device with the express purpose of enriching the end user experience.

However, due to our dislike of Microsoft, we have decided to Boycott PocketPC, hence reducing our market share (especually in europe)

What do you think!
