Constanze and Maarten presented what I feel to be one of the most important presentations of the "24 Hours of Windows Mobile" series earlier today. It covered the the CF 3.5 Power Toys. Despite having the word "Toy" in it's name the Power Toys are a serious collection of tools. If you've ever had to develop in an environment that had no debugger then you understand the extremely high value of being able to have insignt to the state of your software on demand. Visual Studio 2008 comes with a nice debugger, but when coupled to the CF 3.5 Power Toys the available insight of your programs behaviour goes up be several order's of magnitude. There's no better way to describe the power toys than to demonstrate it (which I plan to do as part of a project I work on every night). If you missed the presentation and are a developer then I urge you to go register to view the on-demand recorded session.
