Pocket PC
Well it has been awhile since my last post and there have been a number of contributing factor, not the least of which has been some internet downtime here at home. Of course there is also the preasures of those real life things like WORK. The next three months look like they are going to be hell.
But, my most fun excuse must be the gift that my wife recently purchased for me, for a tech junkie or is that .net junkie like me the coolest gift is something electronic, and she hit the nail on the head with a iPAQ PocketPC. All in all this is a really cool device. The coolest feature is that it integrated with my wireless network. Only one piece of advice I would offer before you spend 3 hours trying to get the wireless networking to work, perform the firmware upgrade. After the firmware upgrade everything just works. Though this is the first PocketPC device I have owned, I have done a fair amount of development using the emulators and it has been really fun to see some of the stuff work on the real thing. For now I will be using C++ for the development on the PocketPC, but soon I will delve into the Compact Framework and post here about that experience.
