Interesting. I'm pretty sure developers do it to produce/showcase their products.

Yes I once downloaded a WM emulator though I don't think you could install your cabs into it.

It would be nice though just to play around in. How about iPhone OS?

Come to think of it, it might of been a Windows CE emulator which basically is the same as Windows Mobile.

Does that actually let you run other Windows Mobile apps on it though, like WM apps you'd download separately. I know it's a nice enough way to play around with the OS itself, but I seemed to think it wasn't a true ARM environment (fine for basic debugging of your apps that you run from Visual Studio, but not good enough to run outside applications).

It's like the same thing as Symbian offers under their Development tools, where you can use a S60 Emulator but it won't run any external SISs.

iPhone has it too with the iPhone Simulator under XCode, but not good enough to run separate iPhone apps.

I think there is a way to install some apps, I read it somewhere, but haven't got around to trying it yet.

Nice find Pooky, works well. It is possible to load and test apps on it yes.
