how can I read a unique ID for my handheld?

Using RAPI, how can I read a unique ID for my handheld? What ID could this
be? So that, if I have more than 1 handheld, my program can recognize which
one is it running on.

You'll have to write a custom RAPI dll to do it.

ok...but what ID I am asking for?
I know how to get the OS version of my device using RAPI, but I need to get
something more specific to the device.

You need to create an unmanaged DLL that gets the serial number, something
like this:

The DLL must expose a function that you can use RAPI to invoke through
CeRapiInvoke (look in Help for the required method signature).

Once you have the DLL, you simply call Invoke to call it and get the data
back.
