Hello :

Our company is currently studying the possibility of licensing and
shipping our embedded software applications on our own devices. Is it
possible to purchase licenses to deploy the Windows Mobile 5 platform
onto our own devices or is this privilege reserved for specific
partners such as Dell, HP, etc. ?

If so, any ideas on where I could find pricing info ?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,


Mark.

You can license WM (it's the only way to get it). Talk with your local MS
rep. The price/volume requirements are substantial (last I hear the entry
level was probably a $1M commitment, but check with MS for the latest
agreements - some applications can get veriances). You also must meet logo
testing requirements, which is a huge step. Count on probably a man-year of
work getting it going.
