The problem is that there are few development tools for the Compact Framework. Visual Studio Express IMHO needs to support Windows Mobile.

Look at Apple, XCode is not only free but is bundled with OS X!

So about WM apps being as rich as desktop apps. It is certainly possible however currently in today’s SDK its much more difficult to do a rich app in a CE based device than on Windows.

HOWEVER this is beginning to change with upcoming SDK’s for .NET Compact Framework & WM7 SDK’s.

You will see things like Silverlight running on Windows Mobile etc. Making rich apps portable from their desktop equivilents.

MS’s goal is to empower developers so that they can leverage this richness.

ones the programmers gets used to windows mobile on a larger screen, i dont see why a winmob app should be any less rich then the current desktop ones.

hell, the celio redfly that you have a image of there shows that the mobile office apps can make use of a larger screen area without trouble.

but in the end i guess it depends on what on think of as a richer app. imo, less is more

I wonder why Intel MIDs will only have 2-3 hours of battery life when from what I’ve seen at ITT, the Nokia n8×0 tablets often get up to 5-6 hours from its tiny battery.

In theory, they should be using similar screen, storage and radio technology.
