The Mobile Minute 2
More info coming out of the giant Kool-Aid pour known as PDC:
- Microsoft Expands Mobile Opportunities for Windows Developers
some interesting things to note here:
- "Visual Studio "Whidbey" will be the first development tool for Windows Mobile developers that unifies the development environment to include the native Microsoft Visual C++® development system, managed Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual C#® development tool, and Web ASP.NET Mobile controls" -- finally, all my dev environments in one
- Additional APIs for: "messaging, telephony, multimedia and gaming, connectivity, and personal information management (PIM). "
- "The success of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework should accelerate in the future with major enhancements planned to the core run-time environment and the base class libraries. .NET Compact Framework "Whidbey" will include execution environment enhancements to improve overall performance, as well as better native interoperability with COM interop functionality and a richer set of base class libraries. " --what was that you say.. COM Interop in .NET CF ?!?! Please and thank you very much!
