Thanks to Omniafans who have spotted that Microsoft released the WM 6.5 SDK nearly a month ago on the low (but my guess is that it was already available to registered msdn devs and only been up for the public recently). Here’s what the whole package includes:

Emulator Images, Gesture APIs, and Samples for Windows Mobile 6.5

A new set of APIs is being introduced that will enable application developers to take advantage of the new Windows Mobile 6.5 touch gesture framework. The gesture APIs allow an application to handle touch gesture input and provide a visually consistent experience with the rest of the device UI. Note that the gesture APIs are only available on the Windows Mobile Classic and Professional SKUs.
