Windows CE actually has very little overlap with Windows at all, since it doesn't use Windows NT. But yea, your theory is probably correct. CE in these late stages was mainly meant for full-screen applications, like in-car entertainment systems or kiosks. The bonkers UI was fine as long as it could run the vendor's in-house GUI and set it to fullscreen mode, as well as support the dying line of Windows mobile devices before Microsoft could come up with something better. The final major release of Windows CE in 2013 actually dropped most of the GUI. All that was left was something reminiscent of the Weston desktop on linux, which was originally intended to demonstrate that Linux could work for... in-car entertainment systems and kiosks.

There's a reason the screen is the size it is. Anything over a 7" screen was considered a different category by MS, and the cost of the license for Windows CE changed based on that. There are similar issues around XP/2K and friends, often though those changes kick in at 5" or more.

The Jawbreaker / Bubble Breaker game came with Windows Mobile phones. Judging by the glitchy about screen, it's just running the Windows Mobile executable. My WM6 phone could start some apps designed for CE, but without a touchscreen they couldn't do much.

I remember the time when this exploded in popularity here in Brazil because it was an extremely cheap option for those who didn't have a PC/Notebook, you could get one for around 100 R$ to 200 R$ (something around $50 to $70 in conversion at the time) and it was horrible but people bought it because it was cheap, I even remember a specific forum where people had applications compatible with Windows CE and there were even some emulators like NES there.

Pretty much exactly at the same time this came out, my Dad gave me a used Pocket PC. It was a Dell Axim X30. It had almost all the same programs as this does. No, it had the official Microsoft programs, not cheap third party knockoffs. But even still, compared to my actual laptop at the time (an inspiron 15r) and the iPod Touch units that my friends had, the Windows Mobile device I was using felt dated. But now that I see this, which was being sold at that exact time, I guess I was more with the times than I thought.

Knowing my fascination with Windows CE and the Handheld PC at the time, I probably would've bought one if they sold them in Australia. With that being said, this device would've also sworn me off Windows CE.
