How to start with mobile application development ?

I am having 4 years of programming experience in Dotnet(Web, Windows, Webservices etc). Now I want to get into the mobile development. I am looking into various aspects mainly development platform/development tool/framework and wide support. I have googled it a lot but couldn't get anything specific to start with, I want to develop platform independent commercial apllications. As I am totally new to this field, any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

If your strengths lie in .Net a nice place to start is Windows Mobile development. You can download Windows Mobile 5/6 SDKs from microsoft here these plug directly into Visual Studio and allow you to create applications for PDAs running WM operating systems and using the .Net Compact framework. You can also download emulators for the PDAs there too sso you can run and test the apps without even having a PDA.

Hope this helps,

Welcome to mobile development, we hope to hear from you again here!

Another option to consider is Flash Lite, which is compatible with some Nokia and Samsung phones, and the coding is pretty simple, it's very similar to C#.net if you are experienced with that...
