The article begins: "HOW DO YOU PORT 5 million lines of Win32/COM code to the Pocket PC? That was the dilemma that Groove Networks faced when considering how to bring its ultrasecure peer collaboration technology to mobile devices. Jamming 10 pounds of potatoes into a one-pound sack wasn't an option, but lateral thinking yielded a new plan: Don't port; use Web services as integration glue. Thus was born the skunkworks project first dubbed "edge services" and now known as GWS (Groove Web Services)." (Source: Chris Forsberg) Inspirational thoughts while the new generation Pocket PC development tools are on their way into Final Beta! Can't wait!

You use the pocketpc as a way to connect either to a terminal services server or better yet, a web based solution as they did. If that is not enough... get a tabletpc then!
