PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Some nice-looking screenshots of Microsoft's next version of Windows Mobile - codenamed 'Crossbow' - have popped up on the web to show the upcoming operating system's swankier graphics. The images come courtesy of MSMobileNews, which has a selection of shots on offer. Meanwhile, the similarly names MSMobiles has a smaller pic showing Windows Mobile 6.0/Windows Mobile 2007's Vista-like folder icons.

After doing windows mobile development for the past several months, I can only pray that 6 is leaps and bounds ahead.

Seriously.

Java mobile development (As fragmented as it is) is about as easy as windows mobile. You'd think since they're all running the same OS, it wouldn't be that bad.

Don't even get me started on the sorry state of the microsoft bluetooth stack...

What's so hard about developing for Windows Mobile 5? I ported an advanced calculator from .NET 2.0 (desktop version) to .NET Compact Framework 2.0, in a few hours. Just had to do some minor adjustments to the core code, create a new UI, and that was it. Runs fine on my Qtek 9100.

I've not done anything advanced, but from what I see .NET on the PocketPC looks good ;)
