MSDN: What's New for Developers in Windows Mobile 5.0
Posted by Darius Wey in "DEVELOPER" @ 07:00 AM
"Windows Mobile-based devices, both Pocket PC and Smartphone, are widely deployed around the world. Much of what drives the popularity of these highly portable devices is their rapidly improving hardware capabilities. These devices now provide high-quality displays, cameras, increased memory sizes, and powerful communications capabilities that were unimaginable not long ago. Windows Mobile 5.0 puts these powerful device capabilities and much more into easy reach of developers."
This is a neat article outlining what's new in the developer's side of Windows Mobile 5.0. You'll find information relating to the new APIs, the new features of Outlook Mobile, plus a full breakdown of some of the tools in Visual Studio 2005. If you look hard enough, you'll also see the following: "Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Pocket PCs and Smartphones now share a common CAB format. Sharing a common CAB file format notably reduces the time required to create CAB files and to support the installation process because all device installations are handled through a single CAB." Sweet! :way to go:
