Mobile device development is not difficult at all to get started at. VS2005 will work great, but I highly recommend you check out Visual Studio 2008 which just hit RTM not that long ago. VS 2008 supports .Net 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 on the desktop and 2.0 or 3.5 on the mobile device right out of the box. You do File -> New Project -> Smart Device -> Smart Device Project. The wizzard will then ask you what your target platform is (Pocket PC 2003, WM5, WM6, etc) and what type of project. You can test your project with the built-in emulator, or if you have your device conneted throug ActiveSync (XP) or Sync Center (Vista) you can run your program and debug it right on the device. You can even set breakpoints and do variable evaluation just like you would a local desktop .Net app.

The only additional things you might need to download are device-specific skins for the emulator. But that's only if you want the emulator to look like your device and be able to simulate hardware button presses, etc. If you're debugging on the actual device that's not required.

There are a lot of great 'getting started' videos available here:

Some great tutorials here:

And finally, a great starting reference here:

Good luck!
