The iOS development SDK comes with a very good simulator if you just want to play around with the SDK and learn iOS development. Again this works on the MacOSX only afaik... if you find a way to run it directly on windows, please let me know too  .
But nothing beats a device (ideally multiple devices each representing all your target configs. You might not run into too many device fragmentation problems with iOS in terms of API, but you never know how your app messes up when put on a different resolution ) for testing if you intend to publish your applications.

Hardware wise you'll need a Mac because you can do your iOS and Android development on the one machine. Add VMWare and a windows instance and you can do WP7 as well.
If you can't afford the Mac you can develop Android and WP& apps on Windows no worries.
Then you'll need some real devices, phone, pad, tablet etc.
Language for iOS is Objective C, for Android it's Java. So your VC++ experience will ease the learning curve there.

There are tons of guides on the internet of which you can learn from and see where to start. I used them for my earlier spiderman games and zombie games iphone apps.

hi all IT specialists
we got a project about gathering money for a charity organisation
in which the organ agents monthly go to the members (i.e members's home or office) and get their aid.
but after getting aid the agent should have a handy set (i.e mobile Pos or Tablet or ...)
for registering aid info and deliver receipt for member.
my question is that which type of handy set we should use ? Pos or tablet or ...
the handy set should be cheep and easy for develop software.
have any body experience like this?

I'm learning C# and how to code for Windows Phone 7. Things are going pretty well but I'm a little stuck!
I'm working on my first small app and I would like to save the settings. I know how to do this using text but I'm struggling with saving settings using the slider switch and other Silverlight Toolkit controls.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't want it done for me, I want to learn how to do it.
Thanks in advance

Hopefully you have this figured out by now, but just in case...
Here's a sample of how I'm storing the bool value from one of my slider switch controls. I'm just binding the slider switches IsChecked to a property in my view model that calls the get/set of this property on my "StoredSettings" class that wraps all of my Isolated storage settings.
public static bool FactorTimeIntoScoring
{
get
{
bool factorTimeIntoScoring = true;
if (GetValueFromStorage("FactorTimeIntoScoring") != null)
{
string storedRating = GetValueFromStorage("FactorTimeIntoScoring").ToString();
bool.TryParse(storedRating, out factorTimeIntoScoring);
}
return factorTimeIntoScoring;
}
set
{
SetValueInStorage("FactorTimeIntoScoring", value);
}
}

hi
i have database on sqlCE 75.6MB with 600,000 rows that has one table with 3 columns
A - lenght 13 (text)
B - lenght 20 (text)
C - lenght 21 (text)
i open the connection like this:
bool OpenConn()
{
try
{
Conn = new SqlCeConnection(String.Format(@"Data Source={0}\
{1}", PathI, "MyDB.SDF"));
Conn.Open();
return true;
}
catch (SqlCeException err)
{
MessageBox.Show(err.Message, "Connetion error");
return false;
}
}
the problem that it take a long time to open connection.
is there any other way for open and work with big database ?
i work on sqlCE for Windows-CE or Windows-Mobile in C#
thanks in advance

We've had no problem with opening connections to databases up to 250mb on devices. Our connection string looks like.....
"Data Source = \Storage Card\our_db.sdf;Max Database Size = 500;Max Buffer Size=4096;File Mode=Shared Read;Persist Security Info=False;"
Opening the connection shouldn't be slow, I'm not sure what the default max size is but try specifying size, buffer and mode to see if it helps.

I have a friend who sells various paper specifications to a very specific market.
He's now thinking of delivering this same content to Android or iPhone users.
He has all sorts of requirements around payment and copyright and is wanting some broad-brush advice on what's required, how long it might take, etc.
My question is "What online resources do you know of that might assist me in providing him with such advice?".
FWIW, this is not paid work for me or for him.
Many thx.

My advice is to ask the question about if its worth it, money wise.
You cannot develop iPhone on anything but a Mac (not properly anyway) but you can develop Android on a Mac using Eclipse or MOTODev. So my advice would be to use a Mac.
You'll also need to pay Apple and Google ~$100 each for developer licenses.
You'll also need some devices to test on.
Do the sums and if the answer is still yes...
No online resource will be able to provide you with such advice, only experience will tell you. Unless you know his exact requirements its like asking how long is a piece of string.
If I was to relate mobile development to say WPF I'd say it'll take about the same time plus learning curve. If you already have Java and Objective C experience, the curve isn't great. If you don't, I'd add min 2 months.
