Windows Phone Thoughts: Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0 Released

"Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0 is the second publicly released version of the Device Emulator for ARM-based Devices. This emulator is also being released with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK and the Adaptation Kit (AK) releases of Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Embedded CE 6.0. Device Emulator 2.0 release contains the same executables and DLLs as the 1.0 release that came with Visual Studio 2005. This version of the Emulator has upgraded performance and some new features. This install will replace the emulator installed with Visual Studio 2005."

If you have the standalone release of the Device Emulator 1.0 installed, then you'll probably want to update to the latest and greatest Device Emulator 2.0. Aside from support for Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Vista, v2.0 adds improved performance, support for high-resolution input, greater support for on-the-fly changes, additional peripheral device and driver support in Windows Embedded CE 6.0, and if you enjoy giving feedback, there's also the opportunity to dip your feet in the Customer Experience Improvement Program.
