Windows CE for Students

Each month, we like to honor a Web site that provides unusual, interesting, or helpful resources for users of Windows CE. Rather than bringing you back to the tried-and-true Windows CE sites that everyone knows about, our courageous News Editor, Heather McDaniel, braved spring-break flashbacks to find you this month’s Windows CE Power Site of the Month. If you’re a student, you’ll find the Windows CE for Students Place particularly interesting. And for all you frugal students saving up the big bucks for that next kegger (and for you under-21 types, the next hot fudge sundae), there are special student pricing deals at this site for products you might need.

Put a doctor in your pocket: a guide to medical and health-related Windows CE resources

Although it’s not a well-known fact, many Windows CE device owners have taken to downloading entire books into their devices. It’s certainly more convenient to carry books in your handy Windows CE device than to overload your backpack or briefcase. Recognizing this interesting trend, Craig Froehle and John Swain, keepers of well-respected e-text repositories, have started a new Book-of-the-Month Club column in Windows CE Power Magazine. They’re not doctors and as far as we know, neither has even played a doctor on TV. In fact, we’ve heard unsubstantiated rumors that they both grow faint at the sight of blood. However, lack of professional experience, training, and general common sense never stopped our intrepid columnists before. So it is with just such aplomb and a complete lack of formal knowledge that our unflagging writers dissect some of the vast medical and disease-related resources available to Windows CE owners.

Some days it’s just so good to be me

Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz has been taking his megalomania pills again. They’re big pills. Big, important pills. He’s got a new, exciting magazine, a company with a new, exciting name, and he just won an award for Best Sales and Marketing Strategy from the New Jersey Technology Council. In other words, he’s being insufferable again. He’s also, vocally — very vocally — demanding a foot massage. It’s just another month on that roller-coaster column we call "From the Editor-in-Chief".
