MIX 2009 is this week in Las Vegas. Sadly I'm not among the developers attending. But a few bits of information have been made available through some social networking tools. There were only three presentations that reached into the mobile space. Two of them were on web development and the other was on Windows Mobile 6.5 development. From what I've heard most of the information falls into the domain of that which has been made known within the past couple of weeks.
- Developers will be able to post trials of their software in the Windows Mobile Market Place
- Microsoft is pushing for tighter integration with OEMs to provide a better UX.
- Silverlight Mobile missed the window for being included in the Windows Mobile 6.5 AK
- Windows Mobile will have a Widget's API based on the WC3 standard for mobile widget applications (http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/)
- Windows Mobile 6.5 Emulator will be made available in coming months
