You are awesome, Joey! The thing that I am also trying to do is to use NetBeans to create and deploy a java app to my Palm Treo 700wx, too. Any thoughts on the matter? Maybe if you are up to the challenge someday you could write a tutorial for a simple .jar/.jad deployment, too, eh? (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge ;-) Sincerely, thanks for a great article. I am really looking forward to taking it for a spin, tomorrow! Woof Thanks for a great, clear and concise tutorial on this! You are awesome, Joey!

Danny V: I just took a look at my setup (Visual Studio Pro, Windows Mobile 6 SDKs included) that I get the following options for Target Platform when I create a new Smart Device project:

  • Pocket PC 2003
  • Windows CE
  • Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK
  • Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK
  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK
  • Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK

This page says that the operating system for the Toshiba E830 is “Windows Mobile PocketPC
(Windows Mobile 2003 Premium edition)” which would suggest that you should be able to develop for it if you select Pocket PC 2003 as your target when you create a new project.

I've got an older version of windows mobile (2003 I believe the "About" window on my Toshiba E830 PPC says), would I be able to use VS2008 to develop for it? I'm guessing I would need at least the SDK. Nice article, Joey!
