I am looking at doing some Windows Embedded development. This would be our
first project so forgive me.

I am looking for hardware that has built in USB 2 support and that has a
GPRS radio built in. I have seen a lot of Java devices with a GPRS radio,
so I am hoping for a Windows device. The USB 2 would be used to connect to
our hardware (HID compatible device).

There wouldn't be any GUI required, we may want a couple led meters to
display signal strength. I don't care if the device is made for Windows XP
or Windows CE. I know my HID code works on XP so that may be the easier way
to go for now. This is for a prototype unit.

Thanks,

Eric Renken
 
Most Windows CE-targeted demo boards have USB 1.1, not 2.0, so, if you
decide to use Windows CE, you'll have to look for that as a critical item
(just to be sure, though, your HID device requires USB2?). USB is not a
problem for little PC-compatible devices that would run Windows XP Embedded.
So, I'd spend my time looking for GPRS (or buying a Sierra Wireless PCMCIA
card to do it).

Eric,

Take a look at this device www.avl.com.tw
The device is based on x86 architecture with USB 1.1 host.
We have Windows CE 5.0 support for this device.

If you need more information, send me an email ([email protected])

I'm not 100% sure I require USB 2.0 for the HID, so I may look at these
thanks to both of you.
