We recently published this case study which I though was interesting as it's another take on education use of Windows Mobile, it also supports one of my personal views on the reason people investigate Windows Mobile compared to other solutions. Career...

Pocket PC thoughts carried an article about the HTC Census device which unsuprisingly will be used as part of the US Census which will take place in 2010. The device will be used for this Census by the 500,000 census staff. Now what astounds me is that...
