Convert Your Honeywell/Intermec CN51 to Android with OS Conversion License

This new software conversion allows customers to purchase devices with an operating system that supports their existing application software, while enabling them to migrate to newer applications in the future to take advantage of the latest system enhancements and preserve their hardware investment.
Any CN51 originally shipped from the factory with Windows Embedded Handheld (WEH) 6.5 may be converted in the field to Android by purchasing the CN51 Android Conversion License (P/N 238-000-002), applying the license per the included instructions, and loading the new Android software.

It is recommended that the customer retain the COA for possible later reapplication should the device be reverted to WEH 6.5.

The Android 4.2.2 firmware includes Google Mobile Services (GMS), and there is not an option to order these CN51 Android 4.2.2 configurations without GMS.
