It was during the Mobile World Congress when Samsung announced its “Samsung Mobile Innovator” program for Java and Windows Mobile, to support development of games and apps for the two platforms.
Now the Korean company is out with the Samsung Windows Mobile SDK 1.0, offering developers APIs to use advanced features unique to Samsung WinMo smartphones. Among the capabilities developers will be able to access and/or control are standard Windows Mobile APIs like GPS, Bluetooth and multimedia support. In addition, developers will also be able to access other phone features such as the accelerometer, notification LEDs and haptic feedback.
Finally, to make things even easier for interested parties, the Samsung also released a couple of Windows Mobile and Samsung API related white papers.
Samsung Mobile Innovator is free to join. The basic (Hub) membership is open to everyone and there’s also an invite-only, Core membership level.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
