Default Adapting Your App

http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/...pp/default.aspx

"Windows Mobile supports an increasing variety of screen resolutions and orientations. Here you'll find the latest news, guidance, and tools to make it easier to Adapt Your App and keep your applications running on the latest device displays."

There were simpler times. Times when Microsoft kept ODMs on a rather restrictive leash when it came to Pocket PCs. Times when you could count on QVGA resolutions, set screen sizes, and other things. Well, those times are over. And if you want to keep your apps competitive, you may want to check out Microsoft's Adapt your App resources. Otherwise, your app may look like the early screenshots of Calendar on a VGA screen. (To get the reference, grab your trusty copy of Pocket PC Magazine and see the November 2005 issue, page 68. Suffice to say, it's not pretty!)
