Managed Direct3D Mobile
Not sure how this slipped through my radar before, but Casey Chesnut has written a fun article on MD3DM (am I the only one who gets headaches from reading palindromic acronyms?). He's got screenshots of the SDK samples (hmm... maybe we should include screenshots like these directly in the SDK?) and walks through converting a bunch of desktop tutorials over to .NET CF. If you're interested in MD3DM (or if you're like me and just easily impressed by pretty pictures), this is definitely worth checking out.
Meanwhile, Daniel Moth points out that our namespace selection for MD3DM is a bit misleading because it's got the Microsoft.WindowsMobile name but is actually a part of .NET CF v2. Yup. There was lots of internal debate about what namespace to put this in. We eventually realized that all of the options would lead to some degree of confusion but Microsoft.WindowsMobile was the least-bad from a long term perspective since future versions of Windows Mobile will have this in ROM.
