It is not available until now. The initial author is not working on the book anymore, because he missed some deadlines. The new author is Jonathan Harbour (anyone read something from him?). The new release date is the 21th of may.

i've read "pocket pc programming using the windows ce game api". while the book is not exactly bad it doesn't tell you too much useful things neither, and the sloppy style it is written in is not funny, just annoying.

don't think i'll buy this gba book, gbatek.txt is enough for me.
