We have released our first BETA of PocketTV Classic that runs on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC.
The CAB is available here:
PocketTV.POCKETPC_ARM-0.13.2-BETA_WM2003SE.CAB (http://www.pockettv.com/cab/PocketTV.POCKETPC_ARM-0.13.2-BETA_WM2003SE.CAB)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: try it on the new devices that your are developing.
Why ? Because PocketTV uses a large number of API's that are not fully tested by the Microsoft platforms tests. By testing your device with PocketTV you increase your chances to catch problems (especially with audio and video drivers) before your device hits the market.
This means less problems with unhappy customers and less returns or customer support, and also less problems with unhappy developers that cannot run their applications on your devices.
There are several examples of OEM's that have recently released products (Pocket PC's 2003 or Smartphones 2003) with major driver issues that could have been detected by running PocketTV in the lab.
So please make sure to test your device with PocketTV BEFORE releasing your next Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition device.
Of course PocketTV does not test every possible API, so we also recommend that you get in touch with the developers of the top-10 or top-20 third-party applications or games (freeware or commercial) and make sure they all run fine - that is, if and when they have versions designed for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.
This version will use the ATI Imageon 3200 (or compatible) if your device is equipped with such a video chip (e.g. like the Toshiba e800 series).
PocketTV can generate a trace of abnormal errors returned by system calls or drivers, useful to troubleshoot.
Also, we now have a ROM-able version of PocketTV (localized for many languages), in case you would be interested to bundle it in the ROM of your next WM2003SE device.
Thanks!
