Is there a future here ?

There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of activity in this group, and 
I am wondering if there is much point trying to work here ? Is it just 
easier to use the Microsoft tools to do CE development, or has 
everyone just given it up as a bad job ?

Are the linux handhelds an easier option for people ?

Will CE version 5 be any better ?  Has anyone looked at porting stuff 
there yet ?

I'd be interested to hear your comments (if any) about OSS in the 
WinCE environment.
