Announcing DroidDB: Visual CE for Android Devices

We are happy to announce DroidDB, Visual CE for Android devices. It is currently being Beta tested and we hope to get an initial release out by the end of this year.

The initial release of the Android product will be a stripped down version of Visual CE. Over time, we hope to add most of the Visual CE functionality. Availability will be announced though this newsletter, email, and our website...so stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you are current Visual CE licensee and you would like to join the beta program, please let us know.

Please Note: We will continue to support Visual CE for devices running the Windows Mobile, Windows Embedded, and Windows Compact operating system. We appreciate your dedication to our product and we will not abandon you.
