I was trying out the new Visual Studio 2010 Beta with support for the new .NET FX 4 Beta, and have just found out that Microsoft has not included the support for Smart Device Development such as Windows Mobile and Windows CE.

Although this might come as a surprise to some, if you think about it, this seems like the logical step towards being on the same level as the competitors Apple and Google that provide free IDE’s for developers to write code for their mobile platforms.

 

This could very well also be the correct time to introduce some new tools and controls that developers have been anxious to have in order to make their applications look more cool.

I guess we will have to wait and see…
