Windows Mobile 6.0 Things and Stuff

The Mobile and Embedded Devices Conference (MEDC) is taking place in Vegas next week, and I thought I'd post a little fun here to get things going.

Mel Sampat stopped by to demo some fancy-schmancy stuff in Windows Mobile 6.0. There's more going on now for both devs and users.

One of the nicer things about 6.0, at least from a dev standpoint, is that the .NET CF 2.0 and SQL Server Compact Edition 2.0 both ship in ROM, meaning you can deploy your nice little apps without having to deploy the runtime as well. That made me happy Smiley

In the video, you'll get to see some of what's new with Pocket Outlook, an experimental managed implementation of voice recognition APIs, and more.

It's because of stuff like that (managed voice recognition APIs?)

aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.
Damn you Microsoft! I was quite happy with my rubbish old Siemens mobile. (They don't even make mobiles any more do they?)

Now I'm wanting to get a new phone.

Curse you!

Excellent stuff, how's the soapbox work going? You've had a couple of months, do all the videos work on mobiles yet? Big Smile

It finds lightbulbs.
That's really great. I may just have to get a new phone for that.

Also, good video in terms of length/info.

Doom!
All that managed stuff is nice, but has anything been done in native code (this is me commenting without watching the video)?  I just finished a whole bunch of WM5.0 native code (there are several reasons for this...) and was curious.

This is really good but is it available yet on the palm treo 700w?  In the video I think he mentioned this video is going to be released after it's available.

I'm surprised to hear anyone likes the tmobile dash over the treo.

Also, it would be nice to have some basic features fixed/added like adding a phone number that just called you to your contacts without having to memorize it, better call conferencing (my little crappy nokia was a million times better than the conferencing on the 700w), keeping an e-mail marked as read when I then move it to another folder (when viewed in outlook on my desktop it's unread but in the folder), etc.

Hopefully you guys start doing more smaller incremental improvements instead of always big picture let's change the world type stuff.

Is the Excalibur + Windows Mobile 6.0 already available? I have looked at different vendors and they seem only to sell it with Windows Mobile 5.0.
