Andy can't get to the site due to some Atlantic backbone issues, but he has some great news on the developer front. Here is what he has to say!
"I worked with the Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows Mobile 2003 some months. Microsoft readied the SDK for the new platform some weeks ago and released it to partner program developers. The SDK documentation describes the improvements and changes in the areas of:
• Development Environment
• Device Emulator
• Device Management
• Security
• Shell
• Messaging
• Networking
Robert Levy, Microsoft MVP for Mobile Devices, summarizes the developer highlights in Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC on his site RobertLevy .NET with key quotes from the SDK documentation and with the following conclusion:
"... here's the stuff that I think is most important: a cut list of what's new for developers copy and pasted from the SDK. Why? Because most of the improvements come from the fact that Microsoft moved from CE 3.0 to CE 4.2 and enhanced the API with more standardizations and extensibility mechanisms. There are some great selling points to Pocket PC 2003 out of the box, but it will really shine when developers take advantage of the things in this list."
The under-the-hood updates and improvements of Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC are now available for developers to build on. Improved development environment and developer tools attract more developers, especially from enterprise market. Better networking and connectivity will lead to a more rapid move from a disconnected application base to a connected application base. The .NET Compact Framework in ROM opens up a new platform for .NET developers and will lead to more software and solutions developed.
Today is a happy day being a developer!"
