This article covers:<br /> Developing Phone Applications—key aspects of Smartphone application development <br /> User Interface Design—available controls and best practices for use <br /> Application Data Storage—managing XML files and registry <br /> Using XML Web services—consuming XML Web services <br /> Packaging for Distribution—distributing Smartphone applications <br /> Enterprise Application Scenarios—relevant scenarios where Smartphone applications provide value to businesses The sample code for this article has tons of useful things in it including a custom control which does automatic "paging" (like the Programs menu) and a snippet to programmatically set the device's input mode to numeric.
