Can I use the MODI library with Windows CE 6.0? Otherwise what kind of OCR can i use with Windows CE 6.0?
MODI is not supported on Windows CE. Nuance used to have a product called "Mobile OCR" that supported CE. I don't see it on their web site any longer, though the OmniPage Capture SDK looks like it's the likely replacement. Their site is unclear about platform support - they simply say "mobile" and "embedded" are supported, so you'd probably want to contact them and ask.

How can I detect if I'm running a Windows Phone or a regular Windows in C# ? (for Windows 8, 8.1, 10)
C# can be run on those two kind of platforms.
You can use precompilation directives such as WINDOWS_APP and WINDOWS_PHONE_APP to detect regular windows or mobile devices.
You can see more information on this MSDN blog post here:

Hope that helps! :)

I want to show ads in my app.For this I use Microsoft Advertising sdk to get started. I have shown the ads but when I set the payment methods in pubCenter my country is not in the list . Is there any other 3rd party ads unit for 8.1 app ?
Thanks.
Have a look at this link alternatives for pubCenter

Leadbolt currently supports Windows Tablet 8.0 and 8.1 with an ad-serving SDK including the bundled cross promotion ads and analytics tools.
HTML based ad tags including house ads are currently available for the Windows Phone platform.
As I have seen only leadboat has windows 8.1 support, and it says it is going to Depreacated. What a bad thing to be Windows 8.1 DEV in a country which microsoft pubcenter do not support

I have been using Microsoft advertising SDK for over a year, but recently I found a new ad network that works on Windows desktop app ads too. Then I integrated their SDK, it runs well in my apps, I earned much more than I did on Microsoft advertising. They support a variety of payment methods to different countries around the world. You can have a try, maybe they will support your country.

I have a Motorola MC2180 device running CE6 and for some reason it did not come with Internet Explorer.
Where can I download a version of an internet browser that runs on CE. Please, if possible direct me to the download rather than just suggesting a browser that may work. I've been trying different browsers for a while, but none of them have a .cab file installer that I can run on CE.
Thank you.
You'll not find a download for IE because Windows CE is a modular OS. Simply providing the IE is not enough, as it requires a lot of other OS-level dependencies that may or may not be there. There's no way to provide a new coredll.dll that contains those required pieces in a download, it has to be built and fixed up for your target. IE also changes the license SKU from Core to Pro in 6.0, so it would be a licensing problem as well.
If you want IE, you'll have to ask Motorola for a new OS image that creates it. If you don't care exactly which browser you have, then follow #yms's advice and look at Opera Mobile, MiniMo, or one of the other browsers with CE support.
The MC2180 does not have IE, because comes with Windows CE CORE edition, this ed. does not contain IE, the MC2180 is an economic range solution. They are other solutions available according to your needs.

You could try with Opera Mobile. It may work on your flavor of Windows CE 6.0.
I'm a little new on Window Embedded Compact 7.0(WEC 7) so I have some question about it :
1- Is there any handheld device that runs with it? All I found run on 6.5 and lower win CE versions ( check this link please : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/windows-embedded-handheld-devices.aspx)
2- what's its .Net framework version? .NET CF 3.5 or .NET CF 3.7 ? I don't know whether its technology related to windows 7 or windows phone 7. If its .NET version is .NET CF 3.7, can I run my old .NET 3.5 apps over it or I should change them to silverlight version? (As I know I cannot run them on windows phone 7)
3-I couldn't find any screenshot of it.
4- For window phone 7, there is a free add-on on VS 2010 for development (although publishing is not free). Is there any free development toolkit & emulator(handheld emulator indeed)?
Thanks in advance
4-..or Completely I'm in a wrong way of thinking? ;-)
About your questions:
1- Is there any handheld device that runs with it?
Yes there are.
The Windows Embedded Partner Program might give you more alternatives
2- what's its .Net framework version? .NET CF 3.5 or .NET CF 3.7 ?
Windows Embedded Compact 7 includes the .NET Compact Framework 3.5
I don't know whether its technology related to windows 7 or windows phone 7.
AFAIK, it is not related to Windows 7, and it is not realated at all with Windows Phone 7.
If its .NET version is .NET CF 3.7, can I run my old .NET 3.5 apps over it?
The .NETCF version is 3.5, so yes, you can run your old >NETCF applications.
or I should change them to silverlight version?
If you do that, then your application will not work anymore. WinCE 7 does not support managed silverlight, it only supports something that is somehow called Silverlight but it actually targets development in native code using C++.
3-I couldn't find any screenshot of it.
Here, enjoy:
4- For window phone 7, there is a free add-on on VS 2010 for development (although publishing is not free). Is there any free development toolkit & emulator(handheld emulator indeed)?
You can use VS 2008, but AFAIK it is not possible at this time to create an emulator for it, since Microsoft has not released the Emulator BSP for WinCE 7.
We have a SharePoint WSS site and some of our users on on the Mac OSX platform. Are there any tips or tricks to get a similar experience to Windows with document shares and calendars on the Mac?
Edit: Browsing a SharePoint WSS site on a Mac, whether using Firefox or Safari, has a very similar look and feel as it does on Windows IE. The similar experience I am looking for has to do with integrating the calendars, document shares, etc. into the desktop.
For example, with IE you can go to a calendar and select "Actions -> Connect to Outlook" and it will make the calendar visible and manageable from within Outlook.
Is there any way to get the Mac to work similarly?
Unfortunately, the "full" Sharepoint Experience is limited to running Internet Explorer 6/7 and Office 2007.
On the Mac, I recommend using Firefox (Camino?) which seems to work a bit better than Safari.
Edit: When you say "Similar experience", what exactly are you missing? I don't have any Mac here, but I was under the impression that Office 2008 will have a working integration with Sharepoint as well.
Office 2008 allows limited connectivity to MOSS. However there is no Mac OS browser yet that is completely compatible to MOSS.
I do have it on good authority the Microsoft Mac BU team is working with the MOSS team to see this changing in future versions of the platform, specifically around the Safari support.
ActiveX is used to enable the bridge between MOSS and Office, and as ActiveX is only on Windows, you will find that you cannot get the full experience if you do not use Windows as your OS.
Yes, Sharepoint looks to client installs of Office applications and Active X in order to fully integrate.
