NET Framework and hence shares many components with software development on the client computers, application servers, and web servers which have the. NET Framework installed, so the integration of network computing space (aka "The Cloud")
Microsoft typically releases Windows Mobile Software development kits (SDKs) that work in conjunction with the Visual Studio development environment. These SDKs include emulator images for developers to test and debug their applications while writing them.

Developer communities have used the SDK to port later versions of Windows Mobile to older devices and making the OS images available for free, thus providing devices that are now set. Microsoft has tolerated this procedure for some time but decided in February 2007 to ask developers to take their OS images off the net, which in turn generate discussion. At the same time Microsoft offered upgrades to Windows Mobile 6 versions to manufacturers for free.
NS Basic provides an alternative development environment. This allows for the development of the desktop, which is then downloaded to the device, as well as the actual development on the device itself. 3.

Software development
Third-party software development is available for the Windows Mobile operating system. There are several options for developers to use when deploying mobile applications. These include writing native code with Visual C + +, writing Managed code that works. NET Compact Framework, or server-side code that can be deployed using Internet Explorer Mobile or a mobile client on a user's device. The. NET Compact Framework is actually a subset of the. NET Framework and hence shares many components with software development on the client computers, application servers, and web servers which have the. NET Framework installed, so the integration of network computing space (aka "The Cloud")
Microsoft typically releases Windows Mobile Software development kits (SDKs) that work in conjunction with the Visual Studio development environment. These SDKs include emulator images for developers to test and debug their applications while writing them. Microsoft also distributes Visual Studio 2008/2005 Professional Editions, and server / database to the country as a student download for free via the DreamSpark program.
Developer communities have used the SDK to port later versions of Windows Mobile to older devices and making the OS images available for free, thus providing devices that are now set. Microsoft has tolerated this procedure for some time but decided in February 2007 to ask developers to take their OS images off the net, which in turn generate discussion. At the same time Microsoft offered upgrades to Windows Mobile 6 versions to manufacturers for free.
NS Basic provides an alternative development environment. This allows for the development of the desktop, which is then downloaded to the device, as well as the actual development on the device itself. 3.

Windows 8
Windows Phone 8 was announced in June 2012, but he officially was released on October 29, 2012. There have been many changes to the Windows Phone 8, among others, support the use of multi-core processors, higher resolution screen, and supports additional external memory card.

Nokia a few days ago has been officially adopted Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. Means the two companies with a long history of smartphones will collaborate and release products as soon as possible. Nokia itself issued their first smartphone (communicator) in 1996. Then Microsoft Pocket PC with its first appearance in 2002, having previously focused on the PDA market.
Ironically, since then, the fate of the two companies is increasingly shrinking. Indeed, Nokia still has a large market share until 2004, but in the same year the competitors appeared and began to erode the dominant market from Nokia. So also with Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS which is one of your favorite smartphone to kemuculan iPhone and various applications 3rd partynya in mid-2008.
The presence of Microsoft Windows Phone 7 raises new hope for microsoft in the global competition. And finally Windows Phone 7 might be a flagship OS because it's been adopted by Nokia. But it's all just a new "Maybe". With so many pessimistic opinions from various groups, like their first smartphone product must be able to meet the user's desire to provide something new, not just looping much less duplication.
Here are some list of handsets from Nokia and Microsoft that signifies their transformation era era for more than 10 years in the smartphone market.
Nokia 9290
Nokia launch the idea of making the beginning of the line smartphone Communicator in 1996. In 2002, Nokia 9290 out of the market, with a flip model like a mini laptop. And became the standard for Nokia Communicator line.
Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC
Before the presence of Windows Mobile, Microsoft started with Windows CE - and H / PC - and PPC. Compaq iPaq is a product of Microsoft's strategy before they entered the PDA market.
Nokia 3650
It is one of the ranks of the Symbian-based Nokia mobile phones. Nokia 3650 had exploded in the market, in addition to the unique button shape, cell phones with cameras are very popular at that time for all.
Audiovox SMT5600
Audivox SMT5600 is the product of the first non-touchscreen Windows Mobile-based Device. Once attached to a PDA-type products, Microsoft is trying to issue a new concept to the mobile phone real keyboard. Unfortunately the keyboard is not qwerty Audivox SMT5600.
Nokia N95
Nokia N95 is a Nokia mobile phone when it first appeared in 2007, I think is the best cell phone output Nokia. With the support Symbian and its multimedia features are complete, I think this is the future of mobile phones. But unfortunately in the U.S., Nokia failed to get a data carrier, so that its use can not be tereksplor optimally.
Motorola Q
The pinnacle of Windows Mobile I think is going to be the Motorola Q in 2006. Motorola Q series continues and is very popular, especially in America. Its use was maximal, as supported by the carrier data plan. At first glance the Motorola Q is similar to the BlackBerry. Unfortunately, the smartphone market is down after the iPhone came on the market.
Nokia E71
Nokia E71. Famous for its classic modern design, coupled with a qwerty keyboard, making the product's release in 2008, sells a smartphone you should have. Supported power and long battery life as well as push email applications, and others, this product successfully embrace the business user market. Unfortunately this product is re-submerged by rising BlackBerry.
Palm Treo 700w
The collaboration between Microsoft and Palm smartphones mostly produce mediocre class, and I think it is a strategy that is less smooth sailing. Palm Treo 700w actually has good features, but unfortunately the screen is only 240 × 240 sukuran very annoying its users.
Nokia N900
Nokia N900 could bring fresh OS for Nokia in its sector. Nokia N900 is based on Maemo Linux OS, which in 2010 changed its name to MeeGo. But somehow the process only got N900, not developed further.
HTC HD2
HTC HD2 is a smartphone based on Windows Mobile 6.5. HTC HD2 itself is a pretty decent smartphone we call good, in terms of both design and hardware. But unfortunately these products are less able to shine because of the Windows Phone 7.
Nokia N8
Nokia N8 is a quality smartphone hardware no doubt. But unfortunately the OS is embedded in the hardware can not support the greatness is on offer Finnish mobile phone manufacturer. The condition of the N8 is likely to also be a driving Nokia officials to make changes to their OS.
Samsung Focus
I think the Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 smartphone is best at this time, unfortunately with the cooperation with Nokia Widows Phone 7 device is difficult to guess the fate of the future.
Ironically, since then, the fate of the two companies is increasingly shrinking. Indeed, Nokia still has a large market share until 2004, but in the same year the competitors appeared and began to erode the dominant market from Nokia.
