Frank McPherson <a href="http://www.pocketpchow2.com/archive/2004_01_25_index.html#107550618714237270">sent us</a> a link to a list that he recently compiled of Windows Mobile developer weblogs. If you are interested in what goes on inside Microsoft's Mobility teams, you should bookmark or subscribe to their RSS feeds. This is my own list of favorite weblogs:<br /><b>Microsoft employees</b><br /><a href="http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/dbox/">Don Box's Spoutlet</a> - Don is God in the world of XML, soap and XML Web Services. His title is "Architect, XML Messaging, Microsoft" and is a tremendous source of inspiration and innovation. If you want to know what Microsoft is all about in the next ten years, this is the weblog to follow. I sincerely believe that even Bill Gates visits Don's weblog from time to time.<br /><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jamespr">James Pratt</a> - Product Manager, Microsoft.

Andy-

Thank you very much for posting both Frank's list and your own. I've bookmarked them all, and I'll come back and read them more in depth as time allows.

I've loved Pocket PCs since they became available, and I've recently gotten more interested in and excited about developing for Pocket PC and Smartphone. I'm getting started in that direction, using desktop development experience to get a boost, and these links came and just the right time! :D

Thanks again,

JoshB
