Windows CE .Net is poised to put VoIP (voice over IP) capability in handhelds, Windows-powered Smartphones, and other devices with a set of enhancements for Version 4.2 to be outlined Wednesday at the Voice on the Net conference in San Jose, Calif.

Todd Warren, general manager of Microsoft's Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group, will outline features of the forthcoming version that are designed for making VoIP-capable hardware. They could find their way into a variety of devices, including Windows CE-based desktop IP phones and mobile devices that can be used for calls over a wireless LAN, said Scott Horn, director of the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group, in a Monday interview.
