Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh

Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh bundles a set of components and libraries designed to add new functionality to Visual Studio, offering a development environment for creating applications intended for devices that run on the Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system.

While Windows Mobile is now superseded by Windows Phone, this SDK can be used to build mobile apps compatible with older devices. The development kit comes in two versions, namely Professional and Standard, which can be used with Visual Studio 2008 Professional or 2005 Standard edition respectively, on early operating systems, up to Windows Vista.

The Standard edition includes components for smartphone apps only, whereas the Professional version can be downloaded in case you want to build apps for Pocket PCs or Pocket PC phones.

The package comprises source code samples, documentation files, header files, libraries and other components, as well as emulator images for the Windows Mobile platform, which can be used for testing the functionality of your apps before deployment.

Today's mobile device market is continuously evolving and big players in this sector are striving to meet the user requirements and implement the most modern standards. Although the Windows Mobile platform is part of the past, the Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh can be of use to those who don't want to give up their old handset yet, providing Visual Studio components designed to allow the easy development of programs and games for Windows Mobile powered devices.
