Win Mobile Dev – Getting Started Links

I am researching how to get started developing Windows Mobile applications with Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Compact Framework.  I found a few interesting links that could help others.

Visual Studio 2005 comes with the necessary stuff to develop Windows Mobile 2003 apps, but if you want to develop Windows Mobile 5.0 apps, you will need the SDKs.  Here are the links to those:

• Pocket PC SDK
• SmartPhone SDK
• SQL Server Mobile SDK
• Emulator image for SmartPhone landscape screen (need this if you want to install the Q emulator below).
• Motorola Q Emulator (optional)

Now that you have the SDKs, you then may want to use a Starter Kit or use some Tutorials to further your learning.

Once you develop your application, you will need to distribute it.  Here is the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable.
