Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 As previously mentioned, the 'Windows Mobile 5.0 Developer Evaluation Kit' has been handed out to attendees at MEDC 2005. One of the highlights from a developer perspective is a great set of new APIs, details of which I have included below. Further details can be found in the 'What’s New for Developers in Windows Mobile 5.0' document, a link to which we will be publishing shortly. I for one can't wait to fire up Visual Studio and get playing with these new APIs ;) P Windows Mobile 5.0 offers many new APIs. Although these new APIs are spread across a number of different services, they are all focused on the common goal of improving developer productivity. This goal is achieved by incorporating many commonly performed tasks in the operating system, thereby allowing application developers to focus on the specific needs of individual applications. For the first time, Windows Mobile 5.0 exposes operating system features directly to managed developers. These new managed APIs include newly added operating system features in addition to newly provided managed classes for existing operating system features. The new APIs fall into three groups: New Native APIs Direct3D Mobile DirectDraw DirectShow Global Positioning Systems Uniquely Identifying a Device Digital Rights Management ActiveSync Interaction Existing Operating System Features that are Now Exposed as Managed APIs Telephony Outlook Mobile Messaging Configuration Manager Newly Added APIs Available to Both Native and Managed Developers State and Notification Broker Picture Selection Dialog Camera Capture API Pocket Outlook Enhancements Mail Application Management
