I have been a die-hard Palm OS programmer for years. Sadly, the ever increasing market share of Windows Mobile devices requires me to recode some of my applications in that environment.
Years ago, I wrote programs for "Windows CE", but had a number of unsatisfactory experiences including being repeatedly forced to buy expensive programming tools that were obsolete and useless within weeks of purchase. I am steeling myself to try again, hoping that the Windows Mobile environment has "matured" a little. I would like people who have followed this path already to post their comments and perhaps their recommendations for tools, programming environments, and experiences or lack thereof with Windows Mobile backward compatibility. I also want to preserve as much code as possible. My dream ( not likely to be true ) is a Windows Mobile compiler right out of PODS (hah!) P.S. I currently use PODS 1.0 with C and a mulitude of emulators and simulators for Palm OS devices. This has been very satisfactory. I hope to a closely duplicate this type of setup. I also had good luck with MetroWerks Codewarrior for a long time. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
