ak3ldama's Journal: .net compact framework

Does anyone have experience with this? I always thought it would be fun to write some apps or maybe even some games for a phone. A WinCE type cell phone goes for about $250. The only other option these days is BREW which I am frankly scared of more than with .NET. Though I suppose the performance problems may be the same as those with Java Embedded type stuff on phones; it would be nice to know before I drop $250 for a phone that is huge and I don't really want or need. Maybe I could write some stuff up, test in the visual studio device emulator, and then do some performance analysis on my boss's ppc 6700? haha. I know I could make a fun little racing game on this type of phone if the performance would be good enough. (Think RC Pro Am on a Gameboy. Something that wouldn't need a gas & brake button just two buttons for turning.)

not with .NET, it won't be. Check out Java MicroEdition (ME), it outperforms .NET and doesn't make you want to impale yourself on a deer stand.

JME phones don't have much market share, my provider doesn't even offer one. Checkout the blog of Carmack for his take on mobile phone technology.
