New component - MonthCalendar

We are glad to announce the release of new .NET CF GUI component - MonthCalendar. It is useful for prompting users to choose a date - particularly a day within month. The user can navigate forwards and backwards between the current and next or previous month using his finger. MonthCalendar animates the transition between the months giving the application appealing look. You can also highlight holidays and planned appointments in the calendar.

TouchList supports CheckBoxes

Bee Mobile TouchList component (used to create lists of items or menus) - now contains a new ItemStyle - ItemStyleCheckBox. When added to TouchList's row style it can contain check boxes within the rows thus extending the functionality and usability of this component.
