Due to commercial reasons I can't give too much away; however...
I'm trying to track down (to buy) a rugged Win CE device for development of a business application. I have the following requirements:
- Rugged, and able to be easily bracket mounted in a vehicle
- Good sized screen (at least 7"?)
- Preferably at least VGA resolution
- Preferably have a touchscreen, but a separate keypad would be acceptable
- Good SDK and documentation
- A power management API, for screen dimming, standby, etc
- Onboard wired ethernet (e.g. via RJ45)
- Serial and/or USB connectivity
- Low power draw
- Preferably have an internal battery for handling momentary power loss
- Run off 12V vehicle power supply (with or without regulator/limiter)
Otherwise I would have just bought a gold-plated solution already. We are looking at large quantity orders of the device which meets our needs, so I need to get it right.
I've been hearing bluff and bull lately from uninformed people (mostly sales types) about CE devices, so anyone who can recommend a good platform from a technical/real-world standpoint would be greatly welcomed.
