   • Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5

2. What is the different of these two?

Answer 1

To answer your question:

Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windwos Embedded Handheld 6.5 are the same. Microsoft seems to use different terms or MS marketing decides to give same things different names to implicit something new. See also Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 2003, these are also the same.

And @akshay2000: although that Windows Embedded Handheld seems to be outdated, Windows Phone is NOT an option for any serious commercial developer in an industrial, professionel environment. Or do you use a smartphone to scan articles in a stocking warehouse? The successor for Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 for industrial use is Windows Embedded Compact and Windows CE 6 etc.
