PDA 8.0 with windows mobile 2005

[bipin]

Hi,

I want to purchase a PDA, I have Labview 8.0 and all related softwares for PDA 8.0 too ( i have used them previously with Pocket PC 2003). Now the PDA's seems to have Windows mobile 2005 for which we need to purchase microsoft visual studio 2005. Is it required to purchase MS visual studio or can i use PDA 8.0 with softwares for pocket PC 2003 and still work on PDA with windows mobile 2005.

Has any body worked on this configuration PDA 8.0 on Windows mobile 2005 and how workable is this configuration, or should i purchase microsoft visual studio 2005 and PDA 8.0.1?.

Best Regards,

Bipin M

no, you don't >>need<< to buy MSVS 2005, the applications built for 2003 will run on the PDA with Windows Mobile 2005. However, you can not use the features of Windows Mobile 2005. Please don't ask me, what these features are, I don't know. I am running WinM 2003 apps on my WinM2005 PDA, too.

But on the other hand, it might make sense to use 8.0.1 + MSVS 2005 Standard, if there are enough bugs fixed in that release.
