Not strictly Windows Mobile news this... but it will be of interest to our Windows Mobile developers, hence the post ;)

redFIVElabs have just announced the first CTP (Community Technology Preview) of their groundbreaking .net Compact Framework for Symbian! That's right... their framework will allow you to pick up any .net CF 1.0 application and run it directly on a Symbian device - massively expanding the potential audience for .net CF developers.

The CTP supports .net CF 1.0 only, Symbian OS 8.0a / S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2 or the Symbian x86 Emulator. Symbian OS 8.1a / S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3 support is planned for the 1.0 release, with Symbian OS 9.1 / S60 3rd Edition support planned for a future update, along with .net CF 2.0 support.

Find out more at the .net Compact Framework for S60 homepage - i've also included some of redFIVElabs' information text below.

Benefit of Using .NET on Symbian OS The direct benefit to .NET developers is the ability to build mobile applications using the familiar .NET suite of software development technologies whilst targeting devices powered by the high performance mobile device operating system, Symbian OS.

Symbian OS Device Prevalence

Symbian has shipped its 110th million smartphone representing over 100 different phone models. Its market share is probably larger than what is realised whilst the number of phones shipped quarterly continues to increase. The chart below indicates the relative market dominance which Symbian enjoys through the various user interfaces, namely S60, Series 80/90, UIQ and Symbian MOAP.

but it will be of interest to our Windows Mobile developers, hence the post.
