The last few days were pretty busy when you like emulators…first, there was Red Five’s .NET CF; then there was StyleTap(exclusive demo video at our sister site TamsPalm). Red Five’s .NET Compact Framework has kept us busy before - I now proudly present a video showing Red Five’s talk at the Symbian Smartphone Show 2007 in London. Essentially, the video consists of a demo of a small web services application written in VB.net - it is first run on a Windows Mobile Smartphone, then on a Nokia E90:

A few pretty interesting questions were posed - here goes:

What about applications created for PocketPC
These applications can be run only on touchscreened UIQ devices. The Series 60 version emulates only the smartphone part of .NET CF - so no PocketPC apps for Series 60(as of now).

How is this licensed
No direct sales. Developers purchase a runtime packet, and additionally pay per license sold.

This clarifies quite a bit for me - let’s stay tuned what’s upcoming next.
