Philips won't do "Jupiter" device
The company decides to not support the latest version of the Microsoft Windows CE operating system for handhelds.
Instead, Philips will only come out with palm-sized organizers that use a more bare-bones version of CE and its existing handheld line.
Microsoft announced the Windows CE upgrade, dubbed the Handheld PC Professional Edition, on October 8. Over the last few months, Microsoft's latest edition of CE has become largely synonymous with the larger class of devices that were expected to run it, code-named Jupiter.
However, to date, only a handful of manufacturers have announced Jupiter products, and even fewer have actually introduced new handheld PCs for the new platform.
Philips said it will continue to support existing Velo devices.
