The Intermec CK30A is not really designed to be used for "graphical"
applications. They more intended the CK30A and CK30B to be a stepping
stone from user with legacy Antared devices to move to a more modern
OS. The A and B are designed to host TE (terminal emulation/thin client)
applications. I think they even removed IE in favor of what they called
their "lock-down" browser, so they can restrict users from surfing the web.
I would recommend you use the Intermec CK30C for any graphical .NET
applications.
