The Mobile Handheld design template provides a starting point for mobile devices with a clamshell-and-keyboard style design.

Overview

A mobile handheld device is a portable device that gives a user access to a variety of functionality. The following list shows some examples of portable device features:

Internet access
E-mail
Address book
Calendar

With the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard in Platform Builder, you can select the Mobile Handheld design template as a starting point for a mobile device with a clamshell-and-keyboard style design. Then, you can customize the OS design to fit your needs.

The Catalog items that you use to configure your OS design can vary.

Mobile Handheld Catalog Items

The Mobile Handheld design template is located in the PDA Device category in the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.

By default, when you use the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard to create an OS design based on the Mobile Handheld design template, Platform Builder includes a specific set of Catalog items in the OS design.

After you finish with using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, you can add other Catalog items to your OS design. For more information, see Adding an Item from the Catalog.

Included Catalog Items

The following required Catalog items are included in the Mobile Handheld design template created by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.

Default Catalog items do not appear in the wizard. Recommended Catalog items appear as selected in the wizard. You can remove these default recommendations by clearing the associated check boxes in the wizard, if it is necessary.

Note:
The following tables show Catalog items in the order that they appear in the Catalog Items View.
