O'reilly's OnDotnet.com site published my article "Developing Web-Service-Driven, Smart Mobile Applications". The article describes how to use .NET Compact Framework clients on Pocket PC 2003 and Smartphone 2003 devices to access MapPoint Web services. The complete application source code is available for download together with the article. Key points in the article include:
1. The remote facade pattern for mobile web service applications:
2. Two ways to track sessions in mobile web services and their limitations.
3. Layered application design to support multiple UIs.
4. A static controller pattern for "screen-flow" mobile clients.
5. UI considerations for PocketPC and Smartphone devices.
