It may be old, but eMbedded C++ is (was?) free. It probably won't have support for some of the newer libraries, of course, but some small programs that I wrote worked on WM 5.

Regarding the iPhone, while the tools may be free (I don't know), I think you have to pay to become a developer. Then, after you write your application, you have to get it blessed by the Apple Elite. If they don't like it, you basically have no market.
