Yes, that seems to be the consensus here. So basically, unless you can afford to buy multiple phones with multiple data plans, you're pretty much stuck writing for just one platform.
Seems like a step backward, no? I love the fact that I can dual boot Windows 7 + Linux Mint on all my computers, and do work in multiple platforms very easily. It would be AMAZING if dual booting phones was possible!
We live in a world operated by science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

In the very early days of WinCE (about a decade ago), there were multiple projects to make WinCE be a boot-loader for Linux. Booting into Linux then removing itself.
Not quite dual-boot, but fun...

You need very big budget to get every possible device to try on and make sure your app works.
There is always another option: Ask for a helping hand from buddys (pals) in CodeProject. If you have some doubts about code leaking to the wrong hands - just make it time-limited or other limited in other ways.
I have Samsung Galaxy Portal (Android 2.1). Thinking to get something bigger like WeTab or Dell Streak.
Other might have other devices, like Droid (w/ Froyo), HTC Desire, Google, HTC Legend and so on.
If you planing to make your application for only one device and software is proprietary to the company/project and no sharing is allowed (my case) - then you have no other choice but to get that device.
Whichever the case - I'm more that happy to help fellow programmer by loading software on the phone and writing report on it. Even simple "Yep, It works.." or "Nope, fatal disaster." sometimes is helpful.
The most important part - enjoy your path to enlightenment. Nothing can beat real sense of achievement.

I heard recently of an android phone that can be purchased out right (about $250 if I remember right) and used on the Virgin Mobile network for $25 a month with 300 minutes and unlimited data, no contract. It's the Samsung Intercept. link[^]

my buddy showed me an Android app he wrote on win7, and some emulator.. installed it on his phone... worked!
So - getting hardware and testing is recommended; but you could get started on the emulator and save up for the phone... just be ready for a soup to nuts test on the hardware either way!
Know way too many languages... master of none!

Regarding the WP7 emulator there are some important things that don't work out of the box. The most important missing feature is multitouch, altough this can probably be sorted out somehow. Another important thing that can't be tested in the WP7 emulator is the "Photo Extras Application". The following quote is from MSDN: "For this release of the Windows Phone Developer Tools, this topic can only be completed on a Windows Phone device and not on the emulator. The current version of the emulator does not include access to the Pictures application on the device." - and I will complete: the current version of the emulator includes access only to the Internet Explorer application, so no email, no pictures, no music ...
And as a comparison, the iPhone simulator seems to be much more useful. I worked on two applications and I mostly tested in the simulator, because is faster.

hi,
i'm currently using waspmote IDE to write a source code to send or receive data.Unfortunately, my program doesn't work and i don't know where the problem lies.Here's my code:
void setup(){
USB.begin();
USB.println("USB port started...");
USB.close();
BT.ON();
if(!BT.init()) USB.println("Init OK");
}
int n=0;
void loop()
{
if(!BT.scanNetwork()) USB.println("Scan OK");
else USB.println("Scan failed");
for(int l=0;l<BT.devices_found;l++)
{
n=0;
USB.print("---- DEVICE ");
USB.print(l,DEC);
USB.print(" ---- ");
USB.print("MAC: ");
for(int m=0;m<12;m++)
{
USB.print(BT.discovered_devices[l].mac_address[m],BYTE);
}
USB.print(" -- NAME: ");
while(BT.discovered_devices[l].name[n]!='\0')
{
USB.print(BT.discovered_devices[l].name[n],BYTE);
n++;
}
n=0;
USB.print(" -- CoD: ");
while(BT.discovered_devices[l].CoD[n]!='\0')
{
USB.print(BT.discovered_devices[l].CoD[n],BYTE);
n++;
}
USB.println("");
delay(2000);
}
if(!BT.createConnection("0003190D1DB9","02"))
{
USB.println("");
USB.print("--- CONNECTION -- MTU: ");
USB.print(BT.connection_mtu[0],BYTE);
USB.print(BT.connection_mtu[1],BYTE);
USB.println(BT.connection_mtu[2],BYTE);
}
else USB.println("Connection failed");
delay(1000);
if(!BT.sendData("test!")) USB.println("Data sent OK");
else USB.println("Error while sending data");
delay(2000);
}

Hi,
you did not mention which mobile device this is, which operating system it uses, what program language you're using, what is and isn't working; all you did was dump some code.
So all I can offer is some general advice:
1.
don't create a large amount of code out of the blue; start small and check it works well before you let it grow larger.
2.
if you don't understand what is going on, improve the observability; I prefer adding log statements, logging to either the display or a file (or both). Each log statement generates one line of output, showing progress and intermediate results when sprinkled around. I know it takes a little effort to provide such, I also learned it pays off right away. And most often it works way better than all the tricks of a debugger, unless you're a real debugger wizard.

No !
It's a native control, so you can't do it, you have to write you own custom control for the same.

The SIP is meant only for entering information into controls and goes away once it is no longer needed. Making it smaller just makes it harder to use.
(Yes... you can use it for input in other ways, like in a game, but really... you shouldnt)

Hi. I'm very curious about writing a Today Screen App. using C#. I want to know how to write applications like ThrottleLauncher or Point UI (applications with widgets, especially XML widgets). (Maybe not good but)I can write applications for Windows Mobile using C#, but I don't know anything about writing Today Screen App. for WM. I searched a lot about a tutorial or source code for this, I couldn't find anything. All I found is just one application and writen in C++.
Can you please give me link for a tutorial or source code for writing Today Screen applications for Windows Mobile (with widgets)? Can you please show me a path to do this?
By the way, I'm not trying to write something and earn money from it. Proof: as you know Windows Phone 7 is coming very soon and even if I write something, I will be for WM 6.5.X and will be junk for Windows Phone 7 users
Thanks
Can

Well you could try some more Google searches. I would expect that if anyone knew how to do this they would have responded by now, so it looks like you are on your own.
