Why are we so mobile with just two feet?
Things are progressing at a steady pace here. The Windows Mobile SDK is on its way to your desktop and device. We have managed to get most of the controls working fine. We have to double-check menu bars and menus and the grid control is not displaying, we also need to fix the fullscreen window mode. We have reworked the TCP connection system which will be more robust on Windows and Windows Mobile. Connecting to the Windows Mobile device is also very easy, no need for Internet connection, as long as you connect to Windows Mobile Device Center (ActiveSync) you will be able to run/debug on your device.
Here is the new Mobile menu that allow you to target your device from now on. No need to change any settings in your project, just use this menu.
Here is a Windows 7 form:
And here is the same form on Windows Mobile 5:
So as you can see, you will be able to use the Windows Mobile SDK in all of its glory very soon. We promised something that is working, we will deliver it to you!
