Visual Studio 2005 will improve the development experience even more, making it easier and more productive. This article covers the current features provided by Visual Studio .NET 2003, provides an overview of Visual Studio .NET 2005 by exploring the current beta 1 release, and anticipates the new APIs and components that will be introduced in a future version of Windows Mobile software."</i><br /><br />This MSDN article covers off the current Smartphone development experience with Visual Studio 2003, and then it shows us what we can expect from the release of Visual Studio 2005, currently in Beta 2. It's pretty interesting to see all the changes, and how much easier it will be to develop for Windows Mobile once the new version of VS is released. :)
