Default Windows Mobile Smartphone QVGA Landscape Emulator Now Available

http://blogs.msdn.com/johnkenn/archive/2006/03/31/565972.aspx

"Good news for Windows Mobile developers eager to test their applications on (presumably) forthcoming devices - there's a new emulator for Visual Studio 2005 that simulates a 320 by 240 landscape-mode Smartphone device. Is there no end to the permutations of screens and Pocket PC / Smartphone variations? Probably not."

Now that the QVGA landscape emulator has been released by Microsoft, we can hope that we will have more Moto Q friendly applications at launch time. ;-) According to John Kennedy the upcoming MEDC 2006 will have a session to help the developers understand the finer points of writing applications that can adjust to multiple resolutions. You can download the emulator image from here.

This conference looks interesting. I am a developer using the Moto Q to develop some horizontal and verticle business apps and getting tips on how to handle both protrait and landscape forms in one app would be very useful. :idea:

Thanks for the post!

I'm sure there will be many apps out there by 2050 when the Q is released! :lol:

Glad that we could help.

BTW, you should update your avatar from the i600 to the Q. ;-) And please don't tell me that you are using the i600 as the avatar because the i600 is more stable than the Q. :lol:

Just being careful...NDA restrictions...etc.

I think you will find the Q is going to be worth waiting for. :wink:
