I have no experience programming for mobile devices, but I have been charged with making one of my windows apps available for pocket. What I would like advice on is what language to use. I have a little experience of Java, so PersonalJava might be the obvious choice, but a friend tells me to steer clear of Java and use C# (he says he speaks from bad experience of finding a pda that would actually run his java application. I'm so naive that I don't even know whether all pdas are java-ready, so to speak. Likewise for C#.<br /> I don't mind the learning curve that will be involved (whichever route I take) but I would like, if possible, to avoid as many pitfalls as I can. Maybe those with experience of both could enlighten me?<br /> Thanks for any help you can give.<br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/331322/new-to-pocket-pc-programming/ Mon, 06 Mar 2006 07:20:36 -0700 Wireless development http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/332984/re-new-to-pocket-pc-programming/#332984 : I have developed software for Windows for a couple of years now mainly using Borland's Delphi.

Microscoft has the biggest share as far as the PDA market is concerned, os better use the .net mobile for programming.<br /> <br /> I would prefer to use java when dealing with mobile phones and smart phones. J2me is the right language for mobile and smart phones.<br /> <br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/332984/re-new-to-pocket-pc-programming/#332984 Fri, 24 Mar 2006 03:31:59 -0700 Wireless development http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/354961/re-new-to-pocket-pc-programming/#354961 http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/354961/re-new-to-pocket-pc-programming/#354961 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:47:47 -0700 Wireless development http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/354963/re-new-to-pocket-pc-programming/#354963 http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/wireless/331322/354963/re-new-to-pocket-pc-programming/#354963 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:48:16 -0700 Wireless development
