While it is possible to have a WinCE deving in a 450KB ROM footprint, I do not *believe* that these are CE devices

It can be - technically.

Windows CE's UI is a sample provided by Microsoft, it isn't "Windows CE". Most ROM images we here are using are over 8MB, many 32MB. They look the same as they use the same UI.
However I bet you wouldn't be able to tell me if the petrol pump you used recently to fill your car up, or the ATM you used to get money was a Windows CE device. As many of them are.

Looks can be deceiving.

I wonder why in that store it describes it as having Windows CE OS though... to promote sales?
