Windows Mobile 6 - What's in it for developers?
*exhale* phewww, finally. Now that Windows Mobile 6 is announced, we can be more open about it. As you know we've been putting a lot of work to improve a user's experience in the core Windows Mobile OS, but what exactly is available under the hood for developers?
Here's a list of features that we think developers will care about:
- Platform in ROM - saves precious memory and improve performance
- NET CF v2 SP1 in ROM
- SQL Server Compact Edition in ROM
- New APIs
- Windows Ink Services for Pen (WISP) Lite
- New Sound API - Plays MP3s and more
- SDK Tools
- Cellular Emulator
- FakeServer
- FakeGPS
- Hopper
- CabToolSigner
- Security Configuration Manager
- Platform unification investments
- Improve the experience for users who have to deal with a multitude of devices types and capabilities.
Over the course of the next few weeks, developers on our team will be blogging and producing a lot of materials and publishing them online, so make sure you add their blogs onto your RSS reader. You can find most of the blogs URLs from the blog-list on the left nav.
The definitive source for more in-depth information will be delivered at the next Mobile and Embedded Developers Conference in Las Vegas on the 1-3 of May 2007. Don't miss it and register now!.

Just open your solution in Visual Studio and if you have the WM6 SDK installed, you just right click on the project and select CHANGE TARGET PLATFORM to a WM6 SDK. All .NETCF frameworks run on WM6. The ones that come by default in ROM is .NETCF2.0 and 1.0Anonymous
