Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit includes gestures APIs

Microsoft today released the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit on the Microsoft Download Center. The kit is necessary for using any of the Windows Mobile 6.5 Gesture API or samples. The gesture APIs, only available on the Windows Mobile Classic and Professional SKUs, allow an application to handle touch gesture input and provide a visually consistent experience with the rest of the device UI. The kit is for developers building applications for Windows Mobile 6.5: it adds documentation, sample code, header and library files, and emulator images and tools to Visual Studio.

There are six available locales for Professional Developer and Standard Developer: 0804 CHS Chinese Simplified, 0409 USA English, 0407 GER German, 040c FRA French, 0410 ITA Italian, 0c0a ESN Spanish, as well as seven developer images:
