Hi all!

I have some time ago written a couple of timer tools for Palm OS[1] and
(potential) users have always asked me to port those to Pocket PC.

Now those are freeware and I am doing this as a hobby, so the
availability of free development tools for Palm OS was what made it
possible for me to write them in the first place.

Question: are free development tools available for Pocket PC / WM? I
have searched the Windows Mobile site but could not find anything
recent...

Cheers,
Jan

You might want to check some of the tools described here:

I have not tried them, and don't know which are still available. I'm
pretty sure none are free, but maybe they are close enough for you.
