Thanks Robert
Standalone emulator, MSDN documentation and free .NET CF SDK will definitely help the mobile developer community and the enthusiasts. :clap:
Does Microsoft have any plans to have trial versions of VS.NET 2005? If the tools are not free, then there are two options:
1. Provide trial versions, so that budding mobile developers can experiment.
OR
2. Make VS.NET 2005 free for non-commercial purposes. [this one is tricky] ;-)
