Microsoft introduces developer tools for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (both for Microsoft Smartphone and Pocket PC)
April 21, 2004 [General] | By anonymous 1.
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition is based on a slightly newer version of core OS (Windows CE 4.21 compared to Windows CE 4.20 in previous version) but it brings some improvements in the application layers (that sit on top of the core OS: Pocket PC and MS Smartphone). One major improvement is a native support for higher resolutions of the screen. Pleased note: originally people were speculating that this new version will be called "Windows Mobile 2004" but apparently Microsoft decided that "Second Edition" is more appropriate. So if you are a developer and you would like to start developing (or adapting) your software for this latest version of Microsoft´s mobile operating system, then now you can download the needed resources.
Develop for the newest edition of Windows Mobile software. Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition offers new screen orientations and resolutions, including landscape, square and VGA support for Pocket PC and QVGA support for Smartphone.
- Read best practices in the whitepapers in the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Developer Resources package
- Test your applications, using the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition emulators for Pocket PC and Smartphone
- Make your applications screen orientation and resolution independent, so you can target the full range of hardware innovations on the Windows Mobile platform with a single code base
