There has definitely been a lot happening in the Windows Mobile world lately and for good reason, the competition is heating up! 

Here is another good piece of information, if you are building a mobile application and are a start-up you will definitely want to take a look at Mobile Incubation Week being held at Microsoft’s Silicon Valley Campus from April 13-17.  The only requirement, you are planning on building for Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 and you don’t even have to have an application built.  Your app could be one of the first apps featured in the new Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

To nominate your team send an email to Mobile Incubation Week with the following:

• Contact information
• Geography: North America, Europe, Asia
• Size of company and year founded (if applicable)
• Overview of your idea
• Why you’d like to participate
• How your application is unique to Windows Mobile
• *Note: please do not send confidential materials at this time as no NDA has been signed

Spots are limited so hurry!  Also if you are a start-up and use Microsoft technology you should probably leverage Microsoft Startup Zone and especially BizSpark.  $100 gets you a lot of software from Microsoft for development *and* for production.
