Port Rev Calculator to Windows Mobile
Get your hands dirty creating your first Windows Mobile App!
Over the course of 2010 we at RunRev will be working hard to make the Rev platform even more ubiquitous by porting our technology to the major mobile platforms: Windows Mobile, Maemo and iPhoneOS.
In this article I will be using a prototype engine for Windows Mobile to show how easy it is to get a simple Rev application running on a portable device. The prototype is being made available to anyone who buys (or has bought) the revMobile pre-order.
Rather than re-creating the wheel in this tutorial, I decided to re-use a simple little stack I found buried in the Rev Resource Center. The Rev Calculator has been shipped with the Rev IDE as an example for many years (since 2003 if you believe the copyright on the about screen!) and makes an ideal first mobile app example.
