ITouch'd Manage 2000

Well the Manage 2000 7.4 web repository is finally branched and 7.4 only development can now be checked in. But one last web tools development project did make it into the 7.3 sp3 code base before the branch; MT/M2000Mobile/M2000Mobile.aspx provides navigation based on MENU.MASTER trees and DEMO/MobileStockStatusByLoc/MobileStockStatusByLoc.aspx which provides an example application to copy.
The idea is to build HTML, javascript, and CSS styles that mimic mobile applications, rather than building applications in proprietary environments one end-user device at a time. Using micro-frameworks like WebApp.Net one can build a web page that looks and feels like a mobile app although it runs in the browser.
Sp2 just went out the door so we won't be launching sp3 for awhile but it should be available in plenty of time for stocking stuffers.
