Anyone have any experience with programming on PocketPC? Specifically 2002, I just bought a dell Axim and I know some Visual Basic (still learning) and PHP/HTML and I have a wireless card so network/web apps are a possibility. What I had in mind is this: I am writing a lan party manager script in PHP that manages tournaments for video games, and I think it'd be nifty to input scores on my expensive little toy and have them beam over to the server, that would be if I wrote a web app. Or, I could write a VB app that would store the info in a file and then I dock and bam upload to the server.

I'm leaning towards web app since its easier to do (I already know PHP alot better than VB) but I would like to find some info on WAP and other HTML design info for small screen devices.

I would like info on porting VB apps to the PPC though, because I would like to write other apps than just my tournament manager.

Ok, I found a kick ass site, www.devbuzz.com that has all the programming info you'd need for pocketpc, but still if anyone has info on WAP and other web-based tech info for pocketPC's let me know.
