DavidI demonstrated Delphi 2005 applications running on .NET Compact Framework on a PocketPC in Madrid yesterday.
The article is in Spanish, so I’ll translate some of it:
At "Borland Day" in Madrid, DavidI announced that in a few weeks a preview of Delphi for .NET Compact Framework will be available for download from BDN.
David did his demonstration with Delphi 2005.
First he created a WinForms application with a button which changed the caption of a label. Without changing anything in the code, he selected a menu item to compile for .NET Compact Framework. Various errors about properties not supported by Compact Framework were returned by the compiler. After commenting out the lines referring to those properties, the project compiled and executed without problems on a PocketPC.
Update: The preview compiler has been released.

Mark Rohloff did it long time ago…
Something in addition to it? Deployment? Project management and configuration? New components or libraryies?
Marc did it with C#. Doing it with Delphi is new, as is the IDE integration.
I want to use the compact framework in Delphi 2005 with poketpcs…
where can i find it?
how to do?
Jonas, you have to wait for the PocketPC preview compiler, which Borland will release Real Soon Now.
Are there any news on this topic? Do you know when we can expect the preview compiler?
It’s out now. See the link at the bottom of the post.
Where?
Jens-Jörg, if you want an answer to a question you’ll need to clarify it.
Ummmm…
The link at the bottom of the post just links to the Delphi 2006 *UPDATE* and it doesn’t state that this update works with D2005. Does it? Also, does anyone have a clue as to *when* the Delphi 2006 Trial will be available? And I’m just about ready to try out Chrome 1.5 as it supports Object Pascal for Visual Studio. As I’m working on porting a D5 app to the Pocket PC, it’s a race to see which version gets here first.
Derek, the post was written half a year before D2006 was released, and the link at the bottom of the post is the Delphi registered users site. The current version of Delphi is no longer 2005 so that’s changed since 2006 was released.
D2006 now has PocketPC functionality built-in.
