Sooner or later I'm gonna have to gett of my a$$ and try my hand at a mobile app. I've done .NET winforms on the PC for years, but have not yet tried windows mobile apps...
I for one would like to see you continue with your app. You have already started on it, and have a ear out to us who plan on using it. Since we can help direct your featureset I think we will be more happy with that.

the CF is a bit tougher to work with. It is VERY stripped-down. Some pain points I've had with my very limited exposure so far:
- The numeric up-down control is an Int16 (IIRC). The value stored is a decimal, but you can't display the decimal. Or apply any formatting. All of those properties/methods are gone.
- The data grid can't be edited unless you're bound to a SQL Server Compact datasource. So binding to a custom datasource requires that you pretty much create a new data grid. At least from what I could find (I researched it for probably 20+ hours).
Those are only the things I can remember. When you take a library of 230MB and squeeze it down to 34MB, you lose a lot.
But if you do want to toy with it, I'll try to help (in a separate thread or PM).
