These are the requirements for deploying mobile applications from the Unwired Accelerator server to a Windows Mobile PDA using .NET client software:
Any of these operating systems (with, or without, telephone features):
Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Windows Mobile 5.0
Windows Smartphone devices (like the Motorola MPx220)
are not supported. If you are unsure of your device’s operating
system, see “Determining the device’s operating system”.
Approximately 20 MB of free storage space to install the following components (installers for these components are included with the Unwired Accelerator .NET client).
.NET Compact Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3 – this must be installed to the device’s memory; it cannot be stored to a memory card. The Service Pack is not included in the release, but can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.
If you are unsure of your device’s service
pack, see “Determining the device’s operating system”.
Adaptive Server Anywhere for Windows CE (ASA for CE) database – ASA for CE is included in the release. this can be installed to a removable memory card, if your device is low on storage space and supports one.
Unwired Accelerator 8.0 .NET client – this should be installed to the device memory for optimal performance. The .NET client can be installed to a removable memory card, if your device is low on storage space and supports one, but it is not recommended because frequent accesses to the database file degrade performance noticeably. The .NET client is included in the release.
An Unwired Accelerator 8.0 server installation with which to connect (described in the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide).
Network connection that allows the PDA to communicate with the Unwired Accelerator server. Possible network connections include:
ActiveSync – share your laptop/desktop network connection by connecting the PDA to the PC using ActiveSync. You can download ActiveSync from the Microsoft Website.
802.11 wireless network – requires that your device has a wireless network antenna.
GPRS connection – requires that your device access the Internet via GPRS, and that your Unwired Accelerator server is publicly accessible on the Internet.
