SDK Release
UPDATE: While the SDK is still available, it is no longer being supported as Mobisante is commercializing this technology. The SDK is provided as-is as a technology demonstration only.
Version 2.51 has been released to the public. Source code is now available. It is released under a BSD-style license by Washington University in St. Louis.
An installer for the binary is also available and must be installed before working with the source code; this is to properly install the drivers and resources referenced by the application.
For help/discussion of this code, please use the help forum on the SourceForge.net project page.
The source may be accessed via SVN as documented here. Using SVN on a Windows machine is easy and we suggest downloading TortoiseSVN for your platform if you don't already use SVN via some other method.
- MobileUS on SourceForge.net
- Binary installer will install MobileUS on your Windows Mobile 6.1 or higher smartphone. It also includes several sample cine files so you can load them and see what they system can do. This will run on any Windows Mobile 6.1 phone, even if it does not have a USB host port.
