After resurrecting my laptop, I tried to play with developing a Windows Mobile 7 application through the new interface in Visual Studio 2010. The development example on Scott Guthrie’s blog was very basic and straightforward, but that’s what was needed for this intro.

I didn’t make it far, though: I added the text box and button and ran the simulator. And my machine rebooted.

OK, maybe try it again. Reopen the project and run. Reboot.

Maybe it’s something to do with an AMD chipset on my laptop; I don’t know. Something to look into the next few days… But if I can get it working, WinMo 7 looks like it may be an interesting environment to play with, especially as it uses Silverlight as its UI piece!
