Microsoft is about to package its Visual Studio into more editions and thereby better offer developers a product that more precisely their needs. Today, it is more or less one-size-fits-all approach. The interesting aspect from a Smartphone point of view is the announcement of Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition.<br /><br />"Microsoft Corp. has announced Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, a development tool for line-of-business application developers building Windows, Web or mobile applications."<br /><br />This is good news for all the developers that are interested in getting started with .NET Compact Framework development but don't have the cash to buy today's Enterprise Edition.
