Product Presentation

The competitive scenario in the market of Mobile Computers push to a quick evolution to the standardization. This process pushed by the action of Microsoft-Intel means basically:

• Hardware Standardization
• Operating System Standardization
• Interfaces and protocols Standardization
• Programming techniques Standardization

The Standardization of programming techniques is the base of technological revolution introduced by Microsoft with the release of .NET.
.NET represents a platform standardizing, simplifying and making the programming of Mobile Computers very similar to the Personal Computers programming. The Mobile Computers programming needs today some device dependent sw components in order to handle properly all the equipments that are typical of each mobile computer vendor (e.g. Laser scanner, Imager, RFID module,..). For this reason each vendor must release an SDK in order to program properly its own device. In this scenario it is evident how important is to provide to the developer an SDK capable of handling all the typical device equipment but at same time capable of simplifying and integrating the power of .NET programming
