The future of the business world is one without boundaries or wires. The mobile/ wireless market is one of the fastest growing fields in the IT industry, meaning that technology companies must constantly develop innovative new devices, services and applications to separate themselves from the competition. Software developers in particular are turning to Microsoft Windows Mobile to gain a leading edge.

What is Windows Mobile?
The Windows Mobile platform is a compact operating system that supports a robust suite of applications for mobile devices. In addition to providing Microsoft Office functionality, the platform also supports a wide variety of third-party enterprise applications. Devices that typically run Windows Mobile application development include Pocket PCs, SmartPhones and Portable Media Centers. Additional benefits of leveraging the Windows Mobile platform include:

• Data connectivity that is designed to be seamless and secure (SQL Server Compact Edition, XML support, built-in security features, encryption libraries)

• Rich API support (messaging, telephony, connectivity, music, video, Bluetooth, gaming, configuration)

• An extensive range of programming models (native code, managed code, mobile Web development including support for basic AJAX applications)

• Powerful devices (industry standard expansion interfaces, multithreading, and multitasking)

As of February 2007, there are more than 140 Windows Mobile powered phones from 125 mobile operators in 55 countries. These operators represent more than one billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide. Furthermore, IDC predicts the following trends in developing mobile applications:

• Windows  Mobile will experience the largest growth among all converged device platforms through 2010 (Source: IDC, May 2006).

• More than 67 percent of developers expect to be involved with the development of mobile applications in the next two years (Source: IDC, Dec. 2006).

• 53 percent of businesses have already deployed mobile applications, with another 22 percent planning to deploy in the next 12 months (Source: IDC, Dec. 2006).
