Probably one of the larger complaints about Windows Mobile is how it's lacking a bit of the shiny. In other words, the user interface could use a little sexing up. In this session from Tech-Ed, Andy Wigley and Andrej Radinger talk a little about what developers can do to spruce things up.
Actually, we're being coy. The name of this video is "[CDATA[ Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager._initialize('ctl00$body$sm1', document.getElementById('aspnetForm')); Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance()._updateControls([], [], [], 90); //]]> Can Windows Mobile UIs Look as Good as the iPhone? Yes, They Can!" And the description:
True, the standard controls in the Visual Studio Toolbox look a bit 'Windows 95-ish', but armed with some fairly simple programming techniques, a little knowledge of how controls get painted on the screen and the skills of a decent graphic artist, Windows Mobile developers can create applications that look great--and enjoy the far superior productivity that developing with the .NET Compact Framework gives you.
Interesting stuff. Give it a look-see here.
