PocketPC apps are, in general, smaller than desktop apps. The PocketPC SDK
has widdled down headers and libraries so that the apps can run effectively
on the slower processors in PocketPC devices.
When I went to Microsoft's mobile development conference back in 2003, they
had some nice information on how to create apps that would run on both the
desktop and a mobile device. If you can't find anything on Google, I can
dig up that old information. It might be outdated now, though, especially
since VS 2005 is out.
Cheers,
David

Subject: Programming for Desktop Verses Programming on Pocket PC
Hi all,
Got a simple question...
Is it easier to write an app for a pocket PC device or for a desktop OS such
as Windows? In other words, if I were writing a calculator for a pocket PC
or desktop OS, both containing the same calculator features, would they both
necessitate the same size executables? I'm wondering if one platform might
add much more functionality with less coding overhead. The ultimate goal is
to have many of the Microsoft windows calculator features on a pocket PC
without a huge file overloading my device's ram or OS. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matthew
