In The Hand Ltd Releases WindowsMobile In The Hand
While Windows Mobile 5.0 introduces and exposes some great new functionality to Visual Studio 2005 developers through the new WindowsMobile namespace, one sad limitation is that the new classes in this space (which include managed access to the Pocket Outlook API) are only available for Compact Framework projects that target a Windows Mobile 5.0 device. Fortunately, Microsoft MVP Peter Foot and In The Hand Ltd have created a solution in WindowsMobile In The Hand -
In The Hand Ltd, a leading developer of managed code APIs for mobile devices, today announced that WindowsMobile In The Hand v1.7, a suite of libraries for Windows Mobile development, is now available.
This suite builds upon the PocketOutlook library and incorporates further managed APIs designed to improve developer productivity while providing forwards compatibility with the new Microsoft Windows Mobile v5.0 managed APIs. Alongside previous Pocket Outlook functionality, this new suite contains Email, Sms, Telephony and Configuration support.
The Community Edition contains a subset of the functionality and is provided for evaluation and non-commercial use. The Professional Edition contains the full functionality, locally installed help content and royalty free redistribution of the runtime dlls. The Professional Edition can be purchased for $49.99 per developer seat. Further details are available at http://www.inthehand.com/WindowsMobile.aspx.
Congratulations, Peter, on a job well done (once again)!
