Microsoft projected in 2008 that shipments of devices with Windows Mobile will
increase from 11 million to 20 million units, but it missed its initial goal in only selling
18 million licenses citing the delayed launch of certain smartphones.[citation needed] Windows
Mobile's market share as an operating system for smartphones worldwide has fallen from
23% in 2004 down to 12% in 2008.[1] Windows Mobile now has a worldwide smartphone
market share of 14%.[2] Microsoft licenses Windows Mobile to four out of the world's five
largest mobile phone manufacturers, with Nokia being the other.[3]. Some current
estimates suggest that 80% of the 50 million Windows Mobile devices made have been
built by one contract manufacturing group, HTC, which makes handsets as for several
major companies under their brands, as well as under its own brand. [4] However, in
February 2009 Microsoft signed a deal with the third largest mobile phone maker, LG
Electronics, to license Windows Mobile on 50 upcoming LG smartphone models.[5]

AKU3.5 is the most current release. In performance, it was generally much slower and
less stable than the previous WM2003SE, especially on older devices "upgraded" to
WM5 but even on native WM5 devices.[citation needed]
[edit]Windows Mobile 6
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Today Screen
Windows Mobile 6 is powered by Windows CE 5.0 (version 5.2) and is strongly linked
to Windows Liveand Exchange 2007 products. Windows Mobile 6 Standard was first
offered on the Orange's SPV E650,[22] while Windows Mobile 6 Professional was first
offered on the O2's Xda Terra.[23] Aesthetically, Windows Mobile 6 was meant to be
similar in design to the then newly released Windows Vista. Functionally, it works much
like Windows Mobile 5, but with much better stability.
Aside from the visual and feature distinctions, the underlying CE versions can be used to
differentiate WM6.0 from WM 6.1. The version of Windows CE in WM 6.0 is 5.2.*, with
the final number being a 4 digit build ID (eg. 5.2.1622 on HTC Wing). In WM 6.1, the
CE version is 5.2.* with a 5 digit build number (eg. 5.2.19216 on Palm Treo 800w).

[edit]Software development
Third-party software development is available for the Windows Mobile operating system.
There are several options for developers to use when deploying a mobile application.
This includes writing native code with Visual C++, writing Managed code that works
with the .NET Compact Framework, or Server-side code that can be deployed
using Internet Explorer Mobile or a mobile client on the user's device. The .NET
Compact Framework is actually a subset of the .NET Framework and hence shares many
components with software development on desktop clients, application servers, and web
servers which have the .NET Framework installed, thus integrating networked computing
space (a.k.a. "The Cloud")[56].
Microsoft typically releases Windows Mobile Software development kits (SDKs) that
work in conjunction with their Visual Studiodevelopment environment. These SDKs
include emulator images for developers to test and debug their applications while writing
them. Microsoft also distributes Visual Studio 2008 / 2005 Professional Editions, and
server / database counterparts to students as downloads free of charge via
its DreamSpark program.[57]
Developer communities have used the SDK to port later versions of Windows Mobile to
older devices and making the OS images available for free, thus providing the devices
with the current feature set. Microsoft has tolerated this procedure for some time but
decided in February 2007 to ask developers to take their OS images off the net, which in
turn raised discussions.[58] At the same time Microsoft offered upgrades to Windows
Mobile 6 versions to manufacturers for free. [59]
NS Basic provides an alternative development environment. It allows for development on
the desktop, which is then downloaded to the device, as well as development on the
actual device itself. Other 3rd party development tools such as Basic4ppc use the .NET
Compact Framework. Basic4ppc applications can be developed on both the desktop and
on the device itself.[60]
Prior to the release of Windows Mobile 2003, third-party software was developed using
Microsoft's eMbedded Visual Tools, eMbedded Visual Basic (eVB) and eMbedded Visual
C (eVC).[61] eVB programs can usually be converted fairly easily to NS Basic/CE.[62]
Satellite Forms is a RAD tool that can produce Windows Mobile compatible applications
that use an RDK runtime engine. Extension libraries extend the functionality for various
hardware.
