Windows CE Targets VoIP Market With LG-Nortel Deal

"Microsoft is continuing its slow assault on the VoIP market by signing a new deal with LG-Nortel to work together on VoIP products based on the next generation of WinCE. LG-Nortel is a joint venture between Nortel and cell phone manufacturer LG Electronics. The deal between Microsoft and LG-Nortel is a memorandum of understanding (MOU) covering joint research and development, marketing, and licensing for WinCE 6."

Well this is some interesting news. So, Windows CE 6 will have VoIP support. Since Windows Mobile is built on-top of Windows CE, does that mean we might just see some VoIP action in the next major release of Windows Mobile? I'm sure it's no surprise that it would be possible, but I didn't really expect Microsoft to make it part of the foundation. Good news for the future of our platform.

VoIP support is already in Windows CE 5.0, in a block called "VAIL" (VoIP Application Interface Layer).
