Software Development Kits and Development Environments
Visual Studio 2005
If you are just starting out, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 includes all the tools you need to target the broad range of Sprint Nextel's Windows Mobile devices. Visual Studio 2005 includes the .NET compact framework library from which you can inherit the core base classes you will need to build your applications. The Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 environment comes with Device emulator images, documented API references, and sample application source code.
Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional and Standard SDKs
The Windows Mobile 6 SDK Refresh adds documentation, sample code, header and library files, emulator images and tools to Visual Studio that let you build applications for Windows Mobile 6
Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC
The Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK includes the necessary libraries and emulators for building applications targeting Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition, and SmartPhone devices running on Windows Mobile 5.0, including the PPC 6700. This SDK links into an already existing installation of Visual Studio 2005.
SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
Also available for embedded Windows application development is evC++ 3.0 and eVC++ 4.0. This SDK also includes a free version of eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP3 which allows you to use C++ with MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes), ATL (Active Template Library) and native Win32 libraries, to create binaries targeted at Pocket PC 2003 devices including Symbol and Intermec rugged PDAs.
SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Smartphone
If you are developing Windows Smartphone applications to run on the Motorola i920 or i930, you can use either Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2003. You will need to download and install the SmartPhone 2003 SDK separately; it will be detected and added to both Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2003 when you start up either of these environments after installing the SDK. The SDK includes a template which you can use to quickstart your Smartphone application development, a generic Smartphone emulator, and documentation to help get you started.
Windows CE: Standard Software Development Kit (SDK)
If you are interested in doing embedded Windows application development targeted at a broad range of Windows CE devices that are not necessarily all operating on the Pocket PC form factor. This SDK links in with Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2003.
Windows CE Utilities for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Add-on Pack 1.1
This add-on includes tools for simpler debugging of Windows CE applications on devices that are running Windows CE .NET 4.1. This tool requires that devices you target can make use of ActiveSync.
Other tools
Windows Mobile Internet SDK
if you are interested in developing an XHTML, or WAP application for any of Sprint-Nextel's mobile devices, whether or not they are running a Windows Mobile operating system, the Windows Mobile Internet SDK provides the tools to take your existing ASP.NET pages and mobilize them. This is an additional toolkit that can be leveraged alongside the .NET Compact Framework from either Visual studio 2003 or Visual studio 2005.
AppForge Crossfire
AppForge Crossfire provides a Visual Studio-enabled set of APIs that allows you to build an application using C#, C++ or VB and run it on a variety of devices including PalmOS-based Palm devices, Windows-based Palm devices, Sprint-Nextel WinOS devices, and BlackBerry devices. Use of Crossfire requires purchasing a license for the development environment, and a runtime license for the software interpreter for each device on which you will install your application.
