PPL: Programming Made Easy
"PPL is a fast and easy-to-learn programming language that is fully object-oriented. PPL runs on all PocketPCs and PC's. Programs written for one system are 100% compatible with each supported platforms. PPL comes with a complete development environment on the PC and PocketPC allowing you to develop anywhere from your PDA. Write high quality games in no time using our easy-to-use GameAPI that incorporates physics, isometric display support, pixel-perfect collision detection and so much more... Design forms visually on your PDA or desktop computer with the visual form builder. Edit components properties and code events within the same interface. PPL has been in active development for more than two years now. It has been beta tested by hundreds of people all over the world. PPL has proven to be very stable, many projects have been developed with it and some are being sold right now even using a beta version of PPL."
A fairly interesting object-oriented programming language for Pocket PC and available for other platforms as well. Starting at $39.95, the pricing isn't too bad either!

Note there is also a free "lite" version that should give most people a good taste of the product.
I haven't gotten going with it yet, but it seems to be very well developed for the version 1 label.

Interesting. As a Smalltalker turned Java developer this is definitely interesting.
Questions...
1. Do you have access to the WM/CE interfaces from within the language.
2. Any plans to make this language .net managed? Assuming its not.
The second question is really an uneducated one. I'm not even sure about .net compact framework's relationship to .net proper.

Hi, Thanks for you interest in PPL.
1. You can access pretty much any possible features of the WinCE OS from PPL.
2. We don't plan on .Net, sorry. The .Net platform would just slow the interpreter down by almost half the speed.
