What's next? Device Emulator V3? Yes, you guessed it!!
We know that the Windows Mobile market is making rapid strides with the release of Windows Mobile 6. And as Mel Sampat says, new OS from Microsoft is complete without a good developer story for it. I would add...."No Windows Mobile or CE release will be complete without a Device Emulator that supports it :-).
With Visual Studio codenamed "Orcas" you get the next version of DE. Most of you would have downloaded the March CTP of Visual Studio "Orcas". Orcas updates Device Emulator to version 3.0 (yes!, latest and greatest). Even if you have recently upgraded to version 2.0 (via Windows Mobile 6 SDK or the Web download), "Orcas" will upgrade your DE to V3.
Top DE V3 features:
- Full automation support for the Device Emulator Manager (DEM) via C++ and VB script
- XML config file to configure emulator instances
- DEM UI changes to mirror automation interfaces
- Code samples to use these interfaces
I will be talking about all features in Device Emulator V3 at this year's MEDC....in less than a week :-)
