Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs

[Peter Foot]

Attendees at MEDC were given a disc during this mornings keynote session containing the SDKs and emulators required to develop with Windows Mobile 5.0. You can now view all of the SDK documentation online here at MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/mobilesdk5/html/mob5oriWelcomeToWindowsMobile.asp).You can also download the SDKs from MSDN:- Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=83a52af2-f524-4ec5-9155-717cbe5d25ed&displaylang=en)
Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Smartphone (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=dc6c00cb-738a-4b97-8910-5cd29ab5f8d9&DisplayLang=en)

I think the link for the Smartphone SDK should read http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=dc6c00cb-738a-4b97-8910-5cd29ab5f8d9&DisplayLang=en

Yup, you're right. Thanks for catching that! I've updated Peter's post. :)

Really annoyed by the fact that to install the SDK, you need to have Visual Studio 2005 Beta. :-( :evil:

So does that mean that small time developer can no longer develop apps for the Mobile devices. :evil:

[Mike Temporale]

Wasn't this the reason VS Express was created?

[Kris Kumar]

Oh! VS Express does not support Mobile App Development. :evil:

You need the full blown version! :evil: :evil: :evil:
