RE: New Emulator in VS 2005

The change in the emulator could be a big help in VS 2005. The emulator was much improved over the eVB one and now that you can install third party apps it will be a big help. Especially since it's pretty much impossible to have a physical device for every type of device available.

What you see in VS 2005 is a true device emulator that runs the ARM version of Windows Mobile and ARM versions of your app.  This is a huge step forward in eliminating differences between device and emulator and the headaches caused by those subtleties.  The other really cool thing about this is that you can now install and run software from 3rd parties in the emulator (not previously possible unless you convinced the developer to release/support the x86 version of their app).

Check it out and send in that feedback.
