Emulator Images in the Windows Mobile 6 SDKs

The Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs shipped with a number of emulator images, and additional form factors were made available in separate packages at a later date when they were introduced with AKU2. Below is the list of emulator images which will ship with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK:-


Windows Mobile 6 Standard



  • Windows Mobile 6 Standard (176×220)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Standard Landscape QVGA (320×240)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Standard QVGA (240×320)

Windows Mobile 6 Professional



  • Windows Mobile 6 Classic (No Phone) (240×320)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional (240×320)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional Square (240×240)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional Square QVGA (320×320)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional Square VGA (480×480)

  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional VGA (480×640)


Except for the square form-factors all of the Professional emulator images support screen rotation, the emulator rotates the device skin in place so that the screen is always shown in the correct orientation on the development computer.
