Are there licensing or technical advantages to using microsoft's .net micro framework as opposed to developing with the android sdk?

I don't think most phone users would prefer a 'Windows' style gui, so I'm curious who/what is this targeted at? netbooks?

@enliteneer NETMF is Apache 2 license and open source; Pyxis 2 (same) is targeted mainly towards hobbyists though there has been interest in using it for a few commercial applications.

can it work on a phone ??

[ArduinoWill]

@zawette if your phone is running NETMF it could be updated to run on it yes.

@someguynamedpie Documentation is on CodePlex under the documentation tab. It is programmable AND it runs C# too so you can use the free Express edition which comes w/ an emulator so you can try out the entire thing before spending $ on a device.

@ArduinoWill When I can afford it, I'm certainly going to buy the stuff. This is the one that supports programming, correct? Do you have any documentation up?

[tunalastic]

why you trying to hide you local ip?

nice, can it run on my psp

[ArduinoWill]

@someguynamedpie Haha, yeah Pyxis 2 is all new so it took some time to develop. There are actually several hardware options for Pyxis 2 available from tinyclr dotty [com]. $250 will get you a device, an LCD and an enclosure. You can opt for less or more expensive options as well.
