True emulation for Symbian development - when?
tote_b5 | 11 April, 2008 16:24
Though I've already heard that Windows Mobile SDK offers true phone emulation,
however, only now have I got to the point that I ask for your opinion:
why cannot we do the same during Symbian software development?
Note that you might have also heard that iPhone developers can also rely on this useful service. Nevertheless, don't forget to bear in mind that they must be working on the same platform, i.e. MacIntosh OSX. That is, there's not too much to emulate there.
But Windows Mobile is different: you develop on Windows presumably on an x86 architecture and produce binary code for another processor architecture (ARM) that you can even debug on. How? Why on Earth cannot we do the same?
