VS 2010 and Smart Device Development

This updated link explains it all: Smart Device development is not supported by Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, but will (somehow) be supported by the final release. Quoting:

"Microsoft is committed to making Visual Studio a great development tool for the mobile device developer, and will deliver mobile device tools for Visual Studio 2010, but cannot share details now. For existing Visual Studio 2008 mobile developers, Microsoft will release a new Windows Mobile 6.5 emulator in the upcoming months that works with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK."

Now, back to work.
