Smartphone 2003 SDK Released
If you're not already a regular over at Smartphone Thoughts, this is just a heads-up: the Smartphone 2003 SDK has been released, and along with it we have some great screen shots and information, especially valid for developers. Go take a peek!

Hilarious - and pathetic
What I find both hilarious (and pathetic at the same time) is that the 2003 SDK is out, and no one in the US (shy a few lucky folks) even got to enjoy Smartphone 2002!
Any idea when we really will see Smartphones in the US?!!! I remember seeing the first one at the Mobile Experience Tour in the Fall of 2001!!!! It was "right around the corner" then!!!!
:roll:

I have to agree with you.. there's maybe... ten (?) people in the US who own smartphones.

And we're all quite pleased 
Actually, there are probably a few hundred of us now. Between eBay, Microsoft's developer kit, and online resellers anybody who *really* wants a Smartphone can easily get one.
You can order a device from our friend Arne at PPCW.Net and use it in the US on any GSM network (T-Mobile, Cingular, AT&T) with no hassle - just move the SIM card from your existing phone into the new one.

I'm not having too much luck with the download :cry:
I've had about 3 goes now, every time it gets about 2 thirds of the way through and then terminates prematurely (without an error message, it just writes an incomplete file).
It's rather frustrating.
I hope this is temporary, I'll try again later.
I'm off to Tech Ed tomorrow, it'd be very, um, serendipitous if they were handing out Smartphone 2003 SDK CD ROMs (dreams are free).

Fourth time lucky 
Now I just have to come to grips with navigation and program control: with Smartphone Microsoft seem even less keen on letting people close anything.
I'll get there eventually.

Nah... There are more happy Smartphone owners in the US! Around 80 % of the shipped PPCW.Net i-Mates was sent to the US (and Canada) so far and if I have a look to the current pre-orders (next batch should be shipped during next week) around 90 % came from North America so far.
[Advertising]So I do my best to cover North America with Smartphones, now it's up to you to order one...[/Advertising] ;-)

You won't even get MS Certification if you add a close control to your app - Douglas Beck got around the problem by installing by default with no close command, and then making it an option in the control file whether it was displayed or not.
I think that makes sense.

I thought that was an Exit command? Pocket Informant is certified and it has a close command. Then again, it's not there by default; you have to go into options for PI and tell it you want a close option.
