Have PDA, Will Travel

In order to host quality mobile applications, smart devices require characteristics that include being small and portable, having a decent battery life, displaying information with richness and quality, having memory to hold plenty of information and applications, and the ability to access remote data. In this column, we'll introduce the topic of accessing remote data using the .NET Compact Framework by focusing on just one of the several ways in which remote information can be manipulated.

.NET does have a server side solution to supporting Palm. And that's by developing ASP.NET mobile control applications.

Agree with "Palm would be nicer" and infinitely more interesting and useful. When is Microsoft gonna grow up from their self-centered world and start selling solutions instead of technology. The biggest force advancing computing has been sharing and cooperation made possible by the Internet, neither is Microsoft known for. Microsoft is like the spoiled kid at the court who won't play or share unless everyone uses his ball and plays by his rules. Just think how much further along the computing platform would be if Bill and Larry had both finished college and learned about... how to accept another point of view.

This was interesting, but really, I don't care about the high battery use CE devices. I and my clients either use real computers (desk or laptops) or Palm's. I'd LOVE a way to do PALM development/integration easily from my .NET app's. THAT would be VERY interisting - and useful!
