RedFiveLabs have finally launched to the market Net60. What is Net60? In short, it’s a Symbian S60 port of Microsoft’s .Net Compact Framework 1.0.

Every people involved in Symbian based development during his career will probably agree that this is the toughest mobile development environments. The tool chain utilities have improved during the years, but it is still far away from other environments such as Windows Mobile or JME.

That’s why Net60 is specially interesting. Developers will be able to write and test C# code in Microsoft’s Visual Studio, eventually deploying the resulting application in Symbian based mobile phones.

Anyway, Net60 is only .Net Compact Framework 1.0 complaint. Current standard is 2.0 version, which is less error-prone and have important improvements to the 1.0 release. This is the main drawback of this software.

Just some months have passed since the first iPhones reached the streets, but that´s more than enough for becoming the main reference in interactive interfaces.

It hasn´t been a big deal, though. Rivals like HTC Touch with its TouchFLO interface or Nokia N95 “n-gage flavoured” are magnificent competitors, but have nothing to do against the Apple iPhone style.

And now, thanks to Makayama TouchBrowser, all of us who can´t afford the price of an iPhone will be able to enjoy an iPhone-style Internet browser for our Windows Mobile gadgets, which means you will forget the stylus at last!. Thanks god for releasing us of the old scroll suffering!

Next 6th of May, HTC is going to present his new phones.

Among them we can probably see a mobile booted Android and the other ones booted Windows Mobile interface Manila (new version of TouchFLO).

Moreover, they could surprise us with a new model with two different version (with and without sliding QWERTY board, the far left model and the far right of the second row in the picture).

On the other hand, the new version of IE Mobile will be availabe later this year. Microsoft claims it ” adds desktop-grade Web browsing to Windows Mobile phones”.

There are many applications for Windows Mobile for reading PDF files. But not many are for free, like MobileXpdf.

MobileXpdf is an open source project based on the Xpdf project, a PDF viewer for the X Windows System of Linux. The application is licensed under GPL. So that, in addition to enjoy its features for free, we can have a look at it source code.

Very interesting from a developer point of view, as here we have the source code of a PDF library for Windows Mobile. I must confess I did know no one.

For those not-so-geek people, you can download CABs files targetting WM 2003 SE, WM 5 and WM 6 and install it easily in your device.
