Windows Phone 7 and Exchange ActiveSync

March 20th, 2010 | Posted in Exchange, How-to's, Windows Mobile

By a happy coincidence Windows Phone 7 had it’s technical unveiling at Mix 2010 just as I was wrapping up my previous write-up on ActiveSync. Microsoft also released an emulator for developers to start coding for the new OS. If you’ve been following the news mill you’ll know by now that there are some major changes this time around which differs from previous platform upgrades. While you will still be able to leverage knowledge like C# you have to make do with Silverlight or XNA, and compared to previous releases of Windows Mobile this breaks quite a few applications. (Only OEMs get native code access, and even they will be restricted as to which native APIs they can use.)

But the kind of laziness where you feel it’s a hassle to pick up the phone to send an sms, and end up doing it on your desktop instead. I have a plug-in in Outlook that will let me send sms, or I could do it via something built upon Kannel, etc, so that’s sorted though. I decided to have a look at something similar for making calls from the desktop.
