Most of these new APIs are designed to free developers to focus on application development issues because many common device and system issues are now encapsulated in the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. This is true whether you are developing personal, enterprise, or gaming software."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/msdn_masthead_ltr.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />Jim Wilson is starting a series of articles on MSDN that deal with the new tools and application programming interfaces (APIs) that developers will find in Windows Mobile 5.0, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Compact Framework version 2.0. This article, the first in the series, starts with an introduction to Windows Mobile 5.0 and the tools needed to get started developing today.
