Long term, it's my understanding that the most recent version of CE
(Windows Embedded Compact 2013) breaks binary compatibility with earlier

will work on CE2013. If the take up of CE2013 is anything like as weak
as CE7, it may be irrelevant.

Exactly so, and I remember seeing a piece in The Register that M$ were
dropping support for all earlier releases at that point. Last week I
decided I needed either a Binatone R430 or the smaller transreflective
Mio: the near total absence of any suitable in-stock hardware (new or
used) outside of eBay shops came as a huge surprise: thats what triggered
me to start this thread.
