[Q] Windows phone or windows mobile - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As far as I know there isn't any PC emulator on Windows phone 7 because Microsoft haven't released a native C++ SDK for WP7 and PC emulators has written in C++.
I want to buy a new phone but I don't know to buy a Windows mobile or a Windows phone device?
I need a PC emulator which is not available for WP7 but it is for WM (QEMU) but WM is going to die!
What do you suggest? Buy a WP7 phone or WM6.5?

would definitely not be a question for me. I suggest to buy a WP7 device.

windows mobile on a palm device?

i was just wondering if it is possible to put Windows mobile on the Centro wich runs on the Palm OS by ACCESS 5.4.9.
I don't think older Palm devices have the capable hardware to run WM... could be wrong though.
Even if the hardware was capable of running the OS there is no chance of getting the drivers for this device so there is no way to put WM on it.
For any device to support windows mobile someone needs to write windows mobile drivers for every piece of hardware in that device.
there is a program that is call styletap it launcher you can run palm on window mobile it i expensive but it good
Styletap lets you run programs written for the Palm OS on a Windows Mobile device.
It will not let you install Windows Mobile on a Palm device!

I want to make programs for HTC Touch Pro (WM 6.1)

Hey guys,
I am a programmer at heart and have developed in many different languages(C,C++,Java,PHP,ASP...). I want to begin developing applications for the Touch Pro (WM 6.1) but I have no idea where to start. My biggest fear is downloading the WM 6.1 emulator messing around with it for weeks only to find out that's not what I should have been using. Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I should start? Are there any tutorials out there for programming for this phone?
I also noticed that the WM 6.1 emulator didn't support the 480x640 resolution that the HTC Touch Pro uses...
Thanks!

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 + Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK + Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK to develop....and this book "Programming Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Third Edition". Its for c/c++, from basics to create drivers, services, etc

Do you know of an emulator for the HTC Touch Pro? I downloaded a program that I know works, and was able to compile and run it on my phone but when I tried to run it with the emulator it was missing the HTCSensorSDK.dll file... something fairly new i presume. I tried default emulator and the Windows Mobile 6 Professional VGA emulator but I was wondering if there was one available for this phone yet.
I want to know the same thing
If/when you find an answer to this I would love to hear about it or see a post on it. Thanks.
There's no such thing as a software-only emulator for the Raphael's hardware, that would be incredibly complex to create for such a task
What the developers use is called a "Board Support Package" - it basically contains all the raphaels hardware, in a PCI card that gets installed in a slot in the computer.. that way all the drivers, etc can be loaded and everything can be tested as it would be on the phone itself.
There's pretty much not a chance in heck of you getting one of those (although if you do, send one my way, I would love to have one )
The emulators are useful for testing generic software that does not tie into any of the features that require raphael hardware. There should also be emulator images to support all resolutions (qvga square, qvga, vga, not sure about wvga/wqvga)
And, here's the link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...52-f89e-4354-84ce-5d19c204498a&displaylang=en
Looks like it does in fact come with wqvga and wvga emulators
Note that you can use an emulator kitchen to add SOME of the htc stuff to the ROM image, but none of the drivers that support the htc hardware will function.

Silverlight coming for Windows Mobile...

Hi,
I found a few posts on Silverlight for WM finally turning up that I thought I'd share with y'all:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2008/11/04/silverlight-2-for-mobile.aspx
http://silverlight.net/learn/mobile.aspx
http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc964299.aspx
Whose gonna make the first app...???
Dave
Can I install facebook client for sliverlight on my phone using this ?
Looks like its Silverlight 2. Windows Phone 7 is based off Silverlight 3 and that second link of yours is about Windows Phone 7 not Windows Mobile. Also didnt Microsoft recently say that Silverlight wasnt being ported to Windows Mobile?

Windows moblie app running on android ?

I'm thinking about changing my current TP2 for the upcoming HTC Desire but I have a concern : I have a windows mobile app (an encyclopedia) that runs exclusively on windows mobile os and it doesn't exist on android. Is there a winmo emulator on android within which I could run winmo apps ? A kind of Ubuntu Wine perhaps ?
(I searched about this and found nothing...)
Thanks in advance

Wine by far predates Ubuntu!
But to answer your question: No.
There isn't an emulator to run WinMo on Android.
There are plenty of encyclopedias for Android though, do none of them have what you want?

Unfortunately, the application I'm using on WinMo is a non-public kind of encyclopedia (business stuff). Perhaps I'll have to wait for the company that made the application to port it to Android ....

[Q] Tutorial for native app

Hi,
I'm looking for some tutorial or complete project, how can I run native app from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone 7.
I know, it's bad question, but why not.
In theory, you can make it happen. Cuz Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows CE 6.0/7.0 But actually MS has already removed some unneeded features of CE or WM. Although they use the same kernel,but you can't run it from WM to WP7 directly.
