Microsoft Releases Localised Windows Mobile 5.0 Emulator Images for Pocket PC
"We're pleased to release localized Emulator Images that enable you to test your applications for Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Pocket PC. These images can be used in conjunction with the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK includes an emulator that uses a virtual machine to run the full WM 5.0 Pocket PC independent of your main operating system on the same machine."
Localised Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator images for Pocket PC are now available for download from Microsoft. Just a reminder that you will need to have your Windows Mobile developer environment up and running before you'll be able to use these. Enjoy!

It mentions UK images which I can't download - there is no link. Deriving the missing link based on the addresses of the others, didn't work either.

Do you mean VS 2005 beta?
Could anyone explain me in plain English what all this means?

Sorry ctitanic. In order for these images to work, you will need the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK, and in order for that to be installed, you will need a copy of VS2005 (preferably the latest beta build, which at this stage is Beta 2). Hopefully, that clears things up for you and anyone else that's interested.

Hmm... 
I'm guessing it's not available at this stage, so I suggest checking back later. I'm not sure if it's a deliberate or accidental omission.

My fault, I got excited thinking that they did something to allow the testing of current applications in WM5 emulator not having VS2005 installed. :evil:

I guess there will be a stand alone emulator available later since there is a "Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview" available here:
