Ever got a certificate from Microsoft? Unless you are applying for a CCNA, CCNP and all of other CCs out there, chance that you never have any.
How about a certificate called "Windows Mobile® Specialist" ? Sounds cool? Check this offer out. 
First of all, this certificate is only available "virtually" i.e. you have to print the certificate with your own printer. As much as I want it to be a hard-plated certificate sent to my home address, I guess this is better than nothing.
All you have to do to earn your Windows Mobile Specialist certification for 2008 is:
- Show that you have completed six required courses online about Windows Mobile.
- Pass the certification test (think of it as an exam to check that you were not just clicking like frenzy just to get the certificate)
Why would I want the certificate, you asked? Well, it’s a proof that you know about Windows Mobile and if you are working as a salesman/woman on a mobile company, then this should add a few points of prestige. Also, it looks good on your resume ^^
Get the certificate at Microsoft Windows Mobile Training site (you need a Windows Live ID)
When I have a free time, I’ll give this a try and put a screenshot of the certificate here ^^ (at the moment I’ve only completed 1 course out of 6)

Didn’t know this site was in existence at all! There’s really not much to the certification at all. All there is to it is pass
Exam 70 – 571 TS: Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Development
or
Exam 70 – 500. TS: Microsoft Windwos Mobile 5.0 – Implementing and Managing
Depending which flavor of OS you are currently interest in developing. Window mobile utilize other MS technology such as Exchange Server and Active Directory. Developer are given a rich stack of API to work with from .NET framework.
Well you won’t get a nice certificate or title like other Microsoft certified professional , but I guess this is still kinda cool to put on your resume, especially if you have nothing to brag about
That’s great invention with this we can use net in our mobile phone.
