The Windows Mobile Emulator, as the name suggests, allows you to emulate Windows Mobile (5, 6, 6.1) on your PC. This is especially helpful to developers but what about the rest of us? Well, maybe your old WinMo device can’t run cool new programs like the Last.fm player or the Iris web browser and you want to see if it’s worth buying a newer device that runs WinMo 5 or better. Sounds like a great reason to test drive a newer OS using Microsoft Device Emulator.

The Microsoft Device Emulator just got more useful by adding Bluetooth emulation as well! Have a look at the Bluetooth for Microsoft Device Emulator site. It shows how to install and configure all of the necessary components. This includes the FreeBT Bluetooth stack, which has to be installed on your hosting machine. But heads up — FreeBT is still in its alpha stage so if you’ve got any problems, be sure to check out their troubleshooting section.
