SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition vs SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition

Just noticed that MS has released SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. As I
understand it this will replace SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition.

I want to know what are the diffences between the two. What I've picked up
CE will be able to run both on PDA and PC. But are there any other stuff that
changed?
If not, any reason why we should upgrade to CE since we're only using the
database on PDAs?

Magnus,

As far as I know SQL Mobile 3.0 and the new SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition
are functionally the same on mobile devices. There may have been some minor
bug fixes, but the only thing I'm sure of is desktop support in the newer
version.
