Re: Mac OS X, Pocket PC and Windows Development

[Lloyd Dupont]

I could tell you that that you cannot really write the same code for both 
PocketPC & Windows (even in .NET or, probably Cocoa) because they have very 
different GUI constraint, layout, input method.
But, as far as .NET is concern you could write the same non-user / data-code 
for both. (even use the sam DLL), but you have to compile them for the 
PocketPC version (Compact framework) because it support a smaller API.

Now I don't know much about mono, even much less so on MacOSX, but from what 
I gathered and was lead to believe, you could just take your binaries and 
run them straight away on MacOSX (& FreeBSD (or even Linux) of course, 
support would be even better there).
