Porting an Application from the iPhone to Windows Mobile

This is a case study for porting an iPhone application to Windows Mobile. I’ve been talking to a number of iPhone developers about just this scenario, so it’s great to find this sort of documentation out there. If you try it, let me know how it works out. 

According to the numbers I’ve seen, Windows has about 9% of the current mobile market vs. 13% for the iPhone. With the new Windows Marketplace for Mobile coming, now would be a great time to port your iPhone app and get it up there in the store.

If you’re a startup, don’t forget that you can get all the tools you need for Windows Mobile development through the BizSpark program. If you have questions, or if you need any help with that, just drop a note
