Microsoft's Whidbey to get a mobile kicker
InternetNews | at | by Mike
When Microsoft seeds the developer community next month with an updated pre-release version of its "Whidbey" Visual Studio .NET, it won't neglect the emerging mobile market.
Whidbey will come equipped with a vastly improved implementation of the .NET Compact Framework -- Microsoft's tool for building apps that run on smart devices such as Pocket PCs and Smartphones.
Version 2.0 will add significant features, such as support for Web services and for the mobile SQL Server CE database. The software will be distributed next month at Microsoft's Mobile Developers Conference in San Francisco.
