Windows CE Update

by **capecodscot** on Tue Apr 04, 2006 2:59 pm

Continuing from my previous post. I have taken delivery of a Roomvue airpanel which is beautifully constructed and exactly what I have been looking for. The only problem is that I cannot get it to run Xlobby ppc screens. I have downloaded all new .net framework 2 and .net compact 2, I can get a strong wireless connection but no screens. With exactly the same setup I can run ppc screens perfectly on my HP Ipaq. I suspect that this could be a Windows CE .Net issue but I really an not familiar with this op system.

Does anyone have any idea or suggestions as right now I'm stuck with a very nice looking but useless 10" touchscreen remote!

Thanks in advance.

I am interested in the RoomVue panel but would be running it via Remote Desktop Client. Any luck with RDC?

Can you tell me how much it cost to get one of these babies ?[/i]

Any luck with this. Sounds interesting but at what cost ?

I called the number on the Kube website and spoke to someone who identified themselfs as "the developer" of the hardware. He quoted a list price of $1,100.

He also stated that a new model with an 800 mhz processor and embedded XP was in the works, so it would appear that the current RoomVue models are close-outs for a discontinued model.

Ouch. I would rather buy a UMPC when they get a little cheaper (~$ 600) after 6-8 months

Ouch is right.. I would have to agree that I think I will wait to see how the UMPC plays out since I was wanting to have at least 4 stations planted at key locations in a new house I'm working on. Thanks for the info..

I have resolved the problem and everything is working extremely well. The panel really is great and does absolutely everything pefectly.

If anyone is interested I can supply these for $990 plus shipping.
