Your choices would be to write an app for a Pocket PC using th .Net Compact Framework, or the older Embedded VB (eVB) or eVC (these two are just scripting languages and although kind of basic and old will still do for a simple job).
You could use other options like AppForge.
You could also use Web Services to transfer the data, or get it as ADO, or XML or text.
You could use Pocket SQL Server or ADO.NET or even Pocket Access to persist data.
