Samsung Windows Mobile SDK

Samsung Windows Mobile SDK addresses a small group of programmers and developers that are on the lookout for a performant software development kit especially created for the Windows Mobile operating system as well as Samsung mobile phones.

First things first, the Windows Mobile OS should not be confused to the Windows Phone, because it is the predecessor of this certain mobile operating system family. It took almost ten years for the Windows Mobile OS family to be replaced, from 2000 to 2010. All this time, various mobile phone manufacturers have used it as the OS of choice for many of their units, including Samsung, Nokia, LG or HTC.

By 2009, Samsung has already been announcing that it would drop the Windows Mobile operating system from their future plans, concentrating on the development of their own OS, Bada, and other ones such as Android or Windows Phone. Samsung Windows Mobile SDK 2.2 was the last update the SDK has received and since the February 2010, this particular piece of software can only be used for learning purposes.

Samsung's own advanced features for its mobile phones can be easily used through the supplied APIs of the Samsung Windows Mobile SDK. The GPS and Bluetooth modules and even the multimedia support have various included APIs that you can work with in order to access their leading capabilities. The integrated Samsung-specific APIs also help you with your work involving phone features like the accelerometer, the haptics feedback and the notification LEDs.

Overall, the Samsung Windows Mobile SDK proves to be a great learning tool and nothing more, as it only serves an OS that has been put to a halt as well as mobile phones that are not going to be produced in the future. If you posses a Windows Mobile-enabled Samsung mobile phone and ever experience the urge to create an app for it, then Samsung Windows Mobile SDK is the way to go.
