Please help settle:
We're upgrading/fielding a mobile device that ran CE 4.2 to CE 5. Mgmt was told by a vendor that the new device with CE 5 (not Win Mobile 5) stored all data and programs in non-volatile ram and persisted everything. But when I tested it, let the battery drain, all the data I put on the thing was gone. I could reload the os image from the card (I think that's where it was) but everything not in the image was gone.
Now I'm reading that Win Mobile 5 protects all data and apps from power-related loss because it mounts the entire file system and registry in persistant store (rather than using RAM) ... from http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/learning/whatsnew/default.apsx
But I don't see anything that CE 5 does this. Am I right in saying that CE 5 does not do this but Windows Mobile 5 does
Thanks,
Kent
CE 5 persistant store?

I believe there’s a way for OEM to implement persistent storage on generic CE 5.0. It's standard on WM 5.0 which is based on CE 5.0. Talk to your device OEM to find out.
