We have some customers that have windows mobile 6.5 handhelds in their warehouse. With NAV classic client, we could create custom forms with big buttons, fields and limited height and width. So these handhelds could access to an RDP server and work with this forms. It was quite easy.

Now with only RTC available, we are looking for solutions, as we can't event hide the navigation pane, nor size the pages to suite the mobile browser. Also windows mobile 6.5 has very limited compatibility with the latest web frameworks that user HTML5, CSS3, etc.

What would be the easiest way to develop something compatible with Windows mobile 6.5 that's ok to work with?

    If you have a working WLAN and there are no problems with the terminal server approach, keep it. If you want a really simple solution, use a web based approach in combination with a terminal server. One of my customer's build a .NET application that runs on a terminal server and uses the web services of NAV, which also works quite well.

    Hi Delaghetto,
    Have a look at the website of Dynamics Anywhere. We provide a solution that is fully integrated in NAV and mobile processes are available off the shelf.
    Using the integrated framework processes/screens can easily be revised or created.
    It runs in a browser so in virtually any mobile device.

    Good luck!

    Thanks guys,

    Finally we opted for a Web Application combined with Terminal Server. This way users can have full browser capabilities in their device.
