Cool... so with lazarus you can develop native apps, bypassing the whole
need for CF. Cool, i like it. Was it difficult to get it setup for
compiling / testing Windows Mobile apps?

Yes, with Lazarus you can develope GUI wince apps much same you do in
Delphi. With latest releases of Lazarus you can this out-of-box. Ofcourse
both Lazarus and Wince support are still at beta stage. Once you're done
with initial learning curve you'll feel yourself much same in Delphi
environment.

I needed to port one of my Delphi socket libraries to be able to work with
sockets in windows mobile. Of course not all Wince C header files are ported
to free pascal. If you need full Wince library you may need to port some of
these headers yourself. For example I needed to call a function to Vibrate
the mobile phone when a certain event is called. For this I ported the
required functions from C header files.

You can run and debug your app in Win32 environment and once you're done
change the target and deploy it to wince.
