well, i found some localized WM5 Smartphone emulator images here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=52FED581-8F8D-4C46-9966-4832098191B7&displaylang=en
but strangely the WWE (wold-wide english = standard us-english) is not in
the list!!!
anyone knows where i can get the WWE WM5 Smartphone emulator image?
is it necessary to download the WM5 Smartphone SDK in order to get it?
also, is it possible to use the Smarphone 2003 SDK (with VS2005 tools)
together with the WM5 Smartphone emulator images? well, i guess i'll get
the answer if i try :)
