We have Visual Studio 2003 on our computers, and I had a spare moment today, so I took a few minutes and wrote a quick and dirty VB program, created the CAB and downloaded it to my phone.  Same level of program my regular CS kids are writing and creating.

I am not sure they got how cool it is that it is THAT easy to do, hopefully they will.  I'm going to show all my classes that today.

By the way, I got the idea of doing it from Alfred Thompson's blog! 

So far I like the 8125 after using it for a week. Biggest problem ... diabetes software but I still have my Treo and an Zire. The Treo still works of course and switching to it just takes moving the SIM. Gmaps doesn't work but Virtual Earth Mobile does. The Internet and email works much better. Syncing is easier. Actually everything I do on a regular basis is easier on the 8125. I have ordered a case similar to the case I have for the Treo. Silicon that takes little extra room. I have also ordered a screen protector.

I am trying the edition and it is working much better than the pocket version. At the moment I have the functionality I use on a regular basis though I am trying to decide what to do about diabetes software. Free software is not easy to find

I am using Pocket Sharp to blog with the phone. The only problem is that it keeps popping up the screen keyboard.
