.NET CF 1.0 successfully ported to CE 2.xx; will .NET CF 2.0 be next?

CodePlex open-source developer Stefanov succeeded last year in compiling versions of the .NET Compact Framework 1.0 that are compatible with Windows CE 2.0, 2.01, and 2.11 devices, thereby breathing new life into these older Windows CE devices by allowing them to run many newer applications.

Now, Stefanov is considering working on a port of .NET CF 2.0 to Windows CE 2.xx and 3.0, opening the possibility of running many current Windows Mobile applications on legacy Windows CE devices.

Before embarking on this project, however, Stefanov is gauging the level of interest in such a project by asking Windows CE device users to vote in a poll on the CodePlex site. Members here who would like to bring .NET CF 2.0 to Windows CE 2.xx and Windows CE 3.0 devices are strongly encouraged to vote in the poll at the CodePlex page linked below.

Come on everybody, vote! It would be great to get .NET CF 2.0 on Windows CE 3.0

I've voted for this but to be honest I don't know what it would do for my old J720. What kind of apps would it let me run and would it do so without 'breaking' my HPC2000 apps (like RedGear appears to do in a lot of cases - according to their website)

Nothing to worry about there - the worst that would happen would be that the app wouldn't open. Check sites like smartphone-freeware.com or freewareppc.com for new programs to see examples - many of these new programs require .NET CF 2.0. Microsoft also has a page with a long list of sites with .NET CF programs - look for the link in my thread about .NET CF 1.0 for CE 2.xx.

You can find lots on several Pocket PC and Smartphone software sites. In my thread about .NET CF 1.0 in H/PC Pro, there's also a link to a Microsoft page that lists software makers that have produced .NET CF programs. The processor given for the app doesn't matter - even if it says ARM, it can still work on MIPS, SH3, SH4, and x86 devices.

I know this is old, but does anyone know where this project stands? I certainly would love to see it completed.

No action on it yet. Stefanov may be waiting to see of there are more votes. Please vote if you haven't already.
