That's good news...but it just leaves the current rather unsatisfactory situation.

I hope someone within the company could promote the idea that in view of Microsoft's new and welcome recognition that "Holy cow, there's a non-Enterprisey world out there!" it's time for smart device development options to be added to down-level versions of Visual Studio - preferably an Express version, but at the very least include it in Standard. Remember you are competing for developer mindshare with platforms whose development tools are *free* (the decision to omit device options from VS 2008 Standard might have come out differently if it had taken into account the people who were not developing for Windows Mobile at all, because of the expense of Visual Studio - in which case whoever made that decision made the situation *worse*).

re: Windows Mobile developer support in VS2010? YES! PLUS some more features

Also - and perhaps a bit under the radar - the following features are also included in VS2010 (and included in the beta 1 release) - Please note, these work on the compact framework. Dotfuscator CE has been extended to support the injection (post-build) of

* Feature and session monitoring (streaming usage data to a developer-specified endpoint),

* Application expiry dates,

* Tamper defense and notification and

* Opt-in/Opt-out logic.

Microsoft first announced this functionality at PDC2008

Yes, I was sure that visual studio 2010 would have support for windows mobile development. Historically this has come in the form of an SDK, but either way, it is great to know for sure that mobile developers will be ready to go for future versions of win mbl development.

I'd like to know what/when we can use Silverlight or WPF when developing mobile applications.
