I know you can use platform invoke to get the Device ID
on pocket PC but why didn't they just provide a method
in the CF that would return this?

For the same reason they didn't just write the program that you're working
on for you. There are an infinite number of things that *could* be done,
but a somewhat smaller number of things that there's time and resources to
do. As time goes on, the most-requested items will be incorporated, no
doubt, but expecting the .NET CF to cover the entire Win32 API is
over-optimistic. In the mean time, look at OpenNETCF, www.opennetcf.org,
for many of the items that MS didn't get to...
