Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview
Posted by Peter Foot in "DEVELOPER" @ 10:00 PM
"The Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview is a standalone version of the same ARM based Device Emulator that ships as part of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. The standalone emulator is intended for situations when you want to demonstrate or test your application on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2005 installed. The emulator ships with support for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition."
This has been released at the same time as the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs but hasn't received the same coverage. This is a really neat tool if you want to demonstrate your applications on a PC which doesn't have any development tools. The software emulates an ARM CPU so you can run regular off-the-shelf device software on it (previously emulators shipped with the development tools required a specific X86 build). While this includes Pocket PC 2003 SE images you can use it in combination with the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK to install the latest device images. To download the Emulator follow the instructions on the product page.
