“Android is the future for Mobile Data Capture, Stocktaking and Inventory counting solutions”

Many mainstream Handheld Terminal (HHT) hardware suppliers have been using Android data capture terminals for some time. Both Zebra and Honeywell withdrew the supply of New Windows CE Data Capture terminals at the end of 2017 and others will following in their footsteps as the power, flexibility, functionality and lower cost of ownership make Android the obvious choice.

Microsoft has announced that it is phasing out support for Windows Embedded Handheld and Windows CE operating systems. These operating systems are in wide spread use and many companies will need to consider their migration options to Android fairly soon. Support for Windows CE 6.0 is due to end in June 2018, Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld in 2019 and Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 in January 2019.

As Handheld stocks of the old legacy Windows based devices run down, users will be left with the simple choice of moving to Android devices or purchasing second hand refurbished stock.
