Windows Mobile was based on Windows CE and ran on ARM processors. It wasn't binary-compatible with the Windows client or server OSes on x86/x64 hardware, which are the platforms for which Progress provides OpenEdge client binaries.
How about Windows Embedded? I saw that this is another common option for handhelds as well. I read on StackExchange that someone claimed it is similar to a full fledged XP installation and will run almost any program.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know a lot about Windows Embedded. It is a SKU of Windows that Microsoft makes available to OEMs who make integrated hardware/software solutions like kiosks, POS terminals, etc. I worked with it a little bit (though not as a developer) years ago when I worked with ATMs. There are different versions of it and some do offer Win32 API compatibility.

Do you know any way that I can contact him on here and if he has any experience with embedded? So far that is looking to be the only option for these handhelds that isn't unreasonably expensive.
Thank you in advance!
