Gear Java Mobile Framework 1.2.0 is a versatile and very useful set of tools which is designed to rapidly develop truly device independent J2ME applications. Gear is a full blown open source framework aimed to provide a consistent infrastructure for Java Mobile developers. Gear is completely written in Java and does not rely on any third party library, Gear based applications require MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 profiles to run.

Major Features:

1. Scalable and skinnable widget system
2. Multi-threading structure
3. Event based thread communication system
4. LocationAPI independent localization library
5. Network communication facilities
6. Powerful string and image handling utilities

Enhancements:

• On device debug console to log error/exception messages
• Improved animation system
• Built-in splash screen support
• Optimization and performance gains

This app lets developers store information about the programms they are writing (CreatorID, size, version, downloads, etc.).
System requirements:
- Palm IIIc
- Palm OS v3.5

Device Abstraction Layer is a C framework for development on the Palm OS, PocketPC and Win32 platforms - one single codebase for three operating systems!

The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP2 Redistributable contains the common language runtime and class libraries built for the .NET Compact Framework. In addition to supporting version 2.0, it also supports applications developed for version 1.0 and service pack releases before version 2.0.
Important: This redistributable enables running .NET Compact Framework applications on the Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition, Smartphone, and other Windows CE powered devices. To develop .NET Compact Framework applications, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SDK are required.
This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 and up to update the device, see the Windows Mobile Center for more information. Be sure to dock your device first before running NETCFSetupv2.msi. If your device is not docked, ActiveSync will store the CAB file until the time when you dock your device. Those not using ActiveSync can run the CAB files which match the device found in the install folder directly on the device.
Enhancements:
- New Features:
- Service Pack 2 of the .Net Compact Framework V2.0 includes some new features in the Remote Performance Monitor aimed at finding memory leaks in the managed heap. These features allow you to take snapshots of the GC heap at any point in time and view the relationships between the live object instances in the heap. You can also compare multiple snapshots over time in order to spot allocation trends in your application as it executes.
