We’re very excited to join Nitobi to announce availability of a PhoneGap beta supporting Windows Phone Mango.
This new option to build applications targeting Windows Phone gives more choices to developers. In particular, Web developers will be able to easily leverage their HTML5 skills to target Windows Phone. The beta version of the PhoneGap libraries can be downloaded from: In case you’ve been so busy writing code for months and you’ve never heard about PhoneGap, it’s an open source mobile framework that enables developers to build applications targeting multiple platforms, by using standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS and JavaScript). On Windows Phone Mango PhoneGap leverages the new HTML5 support provided by IE9. We have been in touch with André Charland and Brian Leroux (Co-Founders of Nitobi the creator of PhoneGap), who are seeing a growing interest from the PhoneGap developer community to target Windows Phone.

MSDN Library. Configuration Service Provider Reference for Windows Mobile Devices. Configuration Service Providers and Security Roles. OMA DM Provisioning Files. OMA DM commands are transmitted between the server and the client device in messages.
A message can contain one or more commands. For a list of commands supported in Windows Mobile 6.5, see OMA DM Protocol Command Elements. A DM message is an XML document. The structure and content of the document is defined in the OMA DM Representation Protocol (OMA-SyncML-DevInfo-DTD-V1_1_2-20030505-D.dtd) available from the OMA Web site. Each message is composed of a header, specified by the SyncHdr element, and a message body, specified by the SyncBody element. The following table shows the OMA DM versions that are supported in Windows Mobile: The following example shows the general structure of the XML document, using OMA DM version 1.2 for demonstration purposes only. For more information about the header and body, see SyncHdr and SyncBody. OMA Client Provisioning Files. One provisioning XML file typically contains configuration information for multiple Configuration Service Providers.
The root node of the provisioning XML is a wap-provisioningdoc node. The following table shows the format of this node. The structure of the nodes within each version is the same: The Configuration Service Provider is identified, as are the settings to be queried or changed. Managing Windows Mobile Devices. Managing a device involves configuring the device after the initial operating system (OS) is put in ROM.
The initial image placed in ROM is the bootstrap image. You can then manage the device from a remote location through continuous provisioning by using a device management (DM) server. The mobile operator, corporation, or user can perform the following tasks, depending on the security policy set by the device manufacturer: Creating an Installer for Windows Mobile Applications. When deploying your Windows Mobile application, you may want to create an installer that runs on the user's desktop and invokes the Application Manager to install your application on the user's device.
The creation of an installer with Visual Studio is simple, requires little coding, and can be done within the existing Visual Studio Solution for your application. Make sure that Solution Explorer for your project is visible. Mobile PractiCEs: How to create a windows mobile (Smart Device) .Cab installer.
Multiple CAB Install. Delivering Applications. Optional Setup.dll Files for Installation. A version of this page is also available for When you create a cabinet (.cab) file, you can choose to add an optional Setup.dll file.
This enables you to perform operations before and after the installation and unistallation of your application on target devices. Wceload Tool. The Wceload tool (Wceload.exe), which is an XML-based CAB installer application, runs on your target device.
You typically use this tool to install a .cab or .cpf file to a location that you select on the target device. Most .cab files are configured to enable the user to select the destination volume where the .cab file will be installed, either \Device or \Storage Card. However, you can choose to suppress the destination volume selection prompt and install the .cab file to a default location, specified in the .inf file used to create the .cab file. Typically, you do not directly call Wceload.
Deploying Windows Mobile Applications. CAB Wizard. When you finish developing your driver or application, you can use the CAB Wizard to create cabinet (.cab) files to facilitate installation of your driver or application on devices. This file acts as a container, holding all necessary device driver or application files in one location, which ensures that these files are present at installation. Mobile PractiCEs: Setup.dll Sample and Walkthrough: Terms & Conditions / End User License Agreement for a Smart Device CAB installer.
Visual Studio Smart Device CAB projects are extremely helpful in many ways for building a cab installer, even thought they have some pending issues, like a more natural MSBUILD integration, they allow us to have a cleaner and dynamic definition of our mobile app installation based on our source projects instead of relying just in binary and .inf files. Sometimes we need to perform some custom actions before and after the installation or uninstallation. Typically we can need to check for pre requisites or show a Terms & Conditions/EULA before the installation and continue only if the user accepts it or, as another example, we can need to remove temporary files and registry entries after uninstallation. In this post I want to show you a very simple way to implement a Setup.dll which shows a Terms & Conditions dialog which requires the explicit user acceptance to continue the installation.

To retrieve cell tower information inside your own application, you must access the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) of the device. The recommendations for OEM RIL implementation suggest disallowing untrusted applications to access RIL functionality.
Therefore, you either have to code sign your application with an appropriate certificate or limit yourself to make use of RIL functionality inside your application on unlocked devices.
