The new SDK (for Windows Mobile 5.0) and .NET Compact Framework 2.0 together expose a lot of new functionality : access to the built-in hardware modules like the GPS, Bluetooth, Camera; it also enables a notifications system, developers can hook into events like new mail, call, battery low etc...
All these new and cool functionality will be accessible using the VS 2005 .NET only. :-( VS 2005.NET lets you develop for both Pocket PCs and Smartphones.
