.FLYINGHEAD WINDOWS CE POWER SITE OF THE MONTH
.TITLE Windows CE for Students
.DEPT
.SUMMARY Each month, we like to honor a Web site that provides unusual, interesting, or helpful resources for users of Windows CE. Rather than bringing you back to the tried-and-true Windows CE sites that everyone knows about, our courageous News Editor, Heather McDaniel, braved spring-break flashbacks to find you this month’s Windows CE Power Site of the Month. If you’re a student, you’ll find the Windows CE for Students Place particularly interesting. And for all you frugal students saving up the big bucks for that next kegger (and for you under-21 types, the next hot fudge sundae), there are special student pricing deals at this site for products you might need.

Windows CE Power Magazine’s very first Site of the Month is a site called the Windows CE for Students Place. Although it’s a great resource for students, this site is surprisingly useful even for those of us who are no longer in school. Visit the Windows CE for Students Place at http://members.xoom.com/cestudent/ and you’ll find all sorts of information about Windows CE ranging from the top 10 games to a Windows CE buying guide.
The reason why this site is called the Student’s Place is because it’s great place to find tools to organize class notes, tasks and schedules. There’s even a program where students can print lab reports using graphs right from a handheld device.
As you can see in Figure A, this site offers another great advantage for students — a "Reduced Price/Free Software Program for Students". This is the kind of resource we all wish we could have had when we were in school!
.FIGPAIR A If you’re a student, or play one on TV, you can save a few bucks at this site.
I tried out the chat room, but you need to be a member of Xoom.com to join. Registration is free, fast and painless. Once I registered and went back to the chat room, there wasn’t anyone else to chat with. Kind of a bummer after seeing the other active resources. If you don’t want to go into the chat room or there’s no one to chat with, you can join an email list.
Overall, The Windows CE for Students Place is not a particularly visually attractive site, but it is a great resource for student-related Windows CE information, resources, and student discounts.
