As the market for handhelds explodes, so does your opportunity for riches and glory. But no one wants to diddle with porting old code when they could be writing something new. That's why it's time for a new approach. Forget porting. Write a single code base, then extend it for deployment across multiple devices. The key to your newfound glory is the widespread adoption of .NET Compact Framework (CF), a smaller-footprint version of .NET Framework and the foundation of Microsoft's latest gig, "Win...

As we design for mobility, we can no longer just "assume" the hardware, the power supply, or the availability and quality of connectivity. Instead, we must question every assumption, every aspect of the platform, from hardware to software to application architecture. Four key questions in particular should be top-of-mind during the early phases of your mobile application design....
