I have a Mobile 5 application that runs on a Motorola Q.  Can this
application be run on a Mobile 6 device ... specifically the Motorola Q9c
... without recompilation?

What do I need in addition to Visual Studio 2008 to develop  Mobile 6
applications?

Does Compact Framework 3.5 mean Mobile 6?

Thom,

Generally apps that run on Windows Mobile 5 devices can also run on Windows
Mobile 6 devices without change.

To develop specifically for Windows Mobile 6, you need the Windows Mobile 6
SDKs in addition to Visual Studio 2008 Pro or above. Here's more information
about what's new in Windows Mobile 6:

No, .NET Compact Frameworks 3.5 runs on Windows Mobile 2003, 5 and 6 or
Windows CE 5.0 or higher.

Hi,

>Does Compact Framework 3.5 mean Mobile 6?

Take a look at the "Devices and Platforms Supported by the .NET Compact
Framework" page available on MSDN at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172550.aspx.

The page contains two tables. One shows the versions of the .NET Compact
Framework supported by each version of the Windows Mobile OS, while the
other shows which version you can expect to find in ROM (i.e. installed by
default) on a particular device.

Hope this helps,
Christopher Fairbairn
