is possible to convert win.mobile applications to winCE?

Hi,

I somewhere red, that is possible to convert applications developed for windows mobile to window CE. It need change some output file and to recompile it to win CE. Is it rumour or is it thrue? Know anybody?

For WinMobile is developed many interesting applications.

It will depend on 2 important aspects of the application you want to run on the M8:
- The processor the application was compiled for.
- The required screen dimensions.

The more recent PDAs are ARM compatible, the applications from these should run on the M8 (hopefully), assuming there are no specific hardware requirements, ie. camera, buttons, GPS ...

If the application was written for another processor, it must be recompiled & the application is useless for this, you need the source code.

Most PDA applications use 320x240 screens so this will be what it expects from the M8, perhaps the M8 can be put into a ‘special’ screen mode to accommodate these applications, otherwise not even re-compiling will help these applications run on the M8 correctly.

.. of coarse the above is generally true for most WinCE applications but until we see the M8 specifics, we cannot be certain.

I heard Microsoft was to doing some work to allow WinCE to run WinMobile apps.
So it should work in small time

Soranne why are you reviving all these STONE OLD zombie threads?
