Developing for Pocket PC

I've got an iPAQ hx2110 running Windows Mobile 2003. Can anyone direct me to, or recommend, any links to tutorials on developing applications for the Pocket PC?

I usually work in Delphi but have done some VB in the past. I've got an idea for an application that would be superb if I could get it to run on a Pocket PC as well as a normal PC.

Thanks in advance

Carl

If you design for the .NET compact framework you will be able to use a subset of .NET technologies (I generally use C# but VB works as well) that can be used on a windows palm. Re-compiling the same code in full .NET framework will generally work some modules might need tweaking if it's specialized (eg. Database calls are slightly different, datagrids, thread-safety) but they go pretty much hand in hand.

I have Embedded VC++ 4.0. I haven't used it in a couple of years, but there's probably something later, and probably for VB .NET. This particular one allows you to choose the type of microprocessor, plus it has an emulator that runs inside the PC (Pocket PC-type screen and controls and all) and allows you to debug before dumping it down into the actual Pocket PC. I used it on an HP, I don't recall the particular model.

Thanks. May be I should change the question to tutorials on .NET development. I've never done it before so any pointers would be great.

I'm not sure what development language to use yet. It depends on what I can find out. I'm looking at Visual Basic .NET and Delphi 2005. Both target the .NET framework.
