Very few of the articles I post tend to relate to Windows Mobile. This reflects the kind of work coming my way. These days, it’s mainly Symbian.

Yesterday, Microsoft released Windows CE 6.0. First of all, this isn’t a Windows Mobile release - it’s the underlying OS upon which future versions of Windows Mobile (e.g. Photon) will be based.

A big change for developers is that all of the Windows CE kernel source code is available together with certain device drivers and application level components. So why might developers need source code? In fact, it helps considerably when you are writing software that needs to deeply interact with the OS. It’s also very useful when debugging to see a full stack trace rather than get an obscure error from the operating system libraries. Finally, it’s always great to have numerous examples showing how APIs are actually used.
