Don't know, I don't use VB for dev work on Pocket PC. VC++ seems to work pretty well. Write your app like you normally would, compile for the chip on your Pocket PC, and deploy.

I doubt it, the chips are not Intel, and the assembly will be different.

There is a handheld forum on the UT. Don't know how much traffic it gets.
