Smartphone XML Editor

[Max]

Any suggestions for an XML (free?) editor with previews so that I customise my SPV homescreens / profiles simply.
I do have frontpage 2003 but this doesn't appear to do the preview / edit fully. Yes I am a novice and, no, I don't want to become to much of an expert.

You will not find an XML editor that will preview the Smartphone hoem screens for you, because:
a) XML is not HTML, and HTML is what usually tells editors how to format things in preview
b) no XML editor knows how to interpret the Smartphone homescreen pugins, and these plugins can execute amd be visualized ONLY on the phone

The only thing you could try is the Smartphone SDK (Software Development Kit) that you can download from Microsoft's site. I believe it can run the Smartphone OS inside some virtual machine, and that would include homescreens and plugins. But if you - as you say - do not want to become an expert, then I don't think you would enjoy figuring out how to make that all work.

I use Oxygen XML (http://www.oxygenxml.com), which is fairly robust and uses Java Web Start so you can run it right off their web site with minimal installation.

too)
