There was a thread on this a while back.....if I recall correctly it
can be done but it isnt a 5 minute process.
As I see it the main advantage of CE for
these
devices would be the instant on nature, however would you really get that
with
a hard disc based CE system? My understanding is that the instant on
nature of CE devices is largely due to the fact that they hold the OS in
ROM.
Given the size/weight/limited battery life of
these I would see them more used as fixed room controllers rather that any
sort of mobile device so you would probably want them powered on whenever
the
house is occupied.
just my view

Isn't
it possible to make a build of CE for an intel X86 platform with the
CE
Platform builder?
Therefore, these devices could in theory at least
have CE installed on
them...
Comments?
