The new release offers better security and closer integration with enterprise infrastructure, Microsoft said, and improves driver support for many common hardware components. Windows CE 5.0, earlier codenamed Macallan, will appear in new devices such as thin clients, handheld terminals and network appliances in the next few months. It will offer improved support for voice over IP (VoIP), enabling it to be used in new devices that integrate data and telephony functions. Future versions of Microsoft's Windows Mobile for PDAs and smartphones will also be based on the new code."<br /><br />That sounds good to me, especially the improved VOIP and Security. Too bad we won't see any new Smartphones based on CE 5.0 until sometime next year. :(
