Hi,
You might want to look at our product kbmMW.
kbmMW supports all major databases (30+ DB API's supported) on a server running Windows or Linux (dotNet soon
available). The client can be running Windows, Linux, .Net (available today!, incl. Compact Framework... i.e. PocketPC
2003+).
Thus you can create any type of application for the PocketPC which will be able to communicate with any backend database
via the kbmMW application server.
