What you can do is use Delphi 2006 to write software for the Windows 2003
Mobile edition. You will have to write code for the .NET Compact in that
case and it's not too easy since Borland is still a new player on this
platform. It is possible but I have never done it before either and the
information that is available isn't much.

Since you are using Delphi 6 and not Delphi 2006, you are limited to writing
just WIN32 applications. You might want to consider to upgrade to a newer
Delphi version in case you want to develop software for PDA's.

One other note: programming software for PDA's can be a real pain since you
have very limited resources. I have done some research on it myself and even
bought a couple of books about the Compact Framework to learn more but the
biggest problem is that in general, a PDA might just have 64 MB of memory
and no additional storage cards and your software will have to fit in that
space including all other software that the PDA user wants to use. The
clockspeed is also lower than you're used to so you might want to optimize
code for speed too. And of course network connections are a real pain since
you have to assume that the PDA might lose it's connection. Even worse,
PDA's tend to be disconnected most of the time. In general, writing software
for PDA's is a real challenge.
