It's fairly different in a
couple areas:
* The installer needs to be marked in some way as supporting
smartphone. This is the problem you are having now.
* Smartphone devices don't have all the runtime functionality the
PocketPC devices do. Even if you manually installed it you would still
have missing dependencies.
* Smartphone GUI is a little different that PocketPC in that it
does not use touchscreen, etc. The GUI will need to be reworked a little
to make is useable in the Smartphone context.
* Smartphone devices occaisionally require execution
privileges that will preclude running software not signed by a special
'privileged' code signing key from the Mobile Operator. Enforcing this is
at the operator's descretion, so it depends on who you have.
Several folks have asked about Smartphone as of late, and there is
some exploratory work going on. The first items listed above are
doable. The last one is more questionable. There is also the
possibility that you can unlock your device even if it is locked down if you
find yourself in that situation.
So, short story is there is not Smartphone support, but you may wish to
check back in about a month or so.
Hi,
I bought this phone
http://www.imate.com/t-DETAILS_SP5.aspx
after checking your site to make sure it is supported. Unfortunately, when I
attempted to install the client I got the error message of something like
'unsuccessfull installation ....unsupported device'.
I checked the
forum to see if there are any workarounds but no avail. Is the Windows Mobile
5.0 Smart Phone Edition different from the Windows Mobile 5.0?
Please
help.
Regards
