New app dev server host question

I'm new and want to develop a new app.
My Q is:
I want to connect 3 or more devices to one pc. Via bluetooth or IP (Wifi) or activesync.
The app that I have to run on the PC (Host and settings) can be build from the ppc development tool (for example basic4ppc or the MS dev kit) or I need to use a different language - development tool for PC only?
I know it's totally noob q but I'm a newbie...
thanx for your time in advance...

Ok I started with Visual Studio 2008 and C#.
Here in the wiki is said to use C++. In that case I have to build the app then send it to the ppc or the emulator and test it?
Now another Q concerning locking and having to register the app... are there any standards?
Are there any buttons tricks etc to spice the forms?

Since as I see there is no answer can you please point me at some programmers forum for WM???

[Q] Programming a Native Messenger

Native Messenger
Hello,
I have a question about the programming on a Phone7.
(I can´t write this in the developer section sry
Can I write a App that use sockets on a unlocked device?
I planing a port of Pidgin for Windows Phone 7 but this OS is to new for me that I can collect enough informations.

Yes, you can use sockets, but not through an official API, so you can't publish an application using sockets on the Marketplace. See this thread for an example using COM interop. I think it might also be possible to access the .NET classes using reflection, but I'm not sure about that.

Technically you can for developer unlocked devices, but the official SDK is coming out next month with socket support - so you may be better writing the UI and data models, then implementing the socket support when the SDK arrives.
I think the Webserver source code in the software development section shows how to use sockets on developer unlocked devices.

/Pun intended.

[n] Windows has the complete set of drivers
[n+1] The manufacturer delivers the driver

Fundamentally, you're misunderstanding the situation. Windows does not run on any computer you can throw together. It runs on any computer that you can throw together that matches the evolving, de facto standard that started as the IBM PC.
It won't run on a SPARC Station or a 68k Mac or an IBM 360 or a Wii or a PS3 or, well, a HTC Vision.
Similarly, Android will run on any PC, er phone, er tablet, er, well computer that is basically the same as an existing Android device. The vast majority of the custom development that is, strictly-speaking, necessary for a new device amounts to device drivers. Now, most manufacturers do a lot on top of that to distinguish their product. That's where Sense and MotoBlur and such-like come into play.
A further complication is that storage space and memory are at a heavy premium on these devices. So, it is infeasible to include the incredible variety of drivers and other hardware support that makes a typical Windows or Linux install need several GBs.
Back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and there were only a handful of PC makers in the world, similar customization was needed. My first PC came with a manufacturer-custom version of DOS 2.1 and Windows 1.1. Is wasn't until at least DOS 3.x (maybe 4.x, that was a long time ago) that a vanilla MS copy had a chance of working. Even then, most peripherals *needed* a custom driver to be used at all. My first mouse is an example. Only way to use it was the Genius Mouse drivers that came with it.

thanks for ur answers guys

[Q] Phone that allows all OS

Please let me know the phones, that allows me to install any Mobile OS in it.. I know that HTC HD2 can have 5 os in it.. IS there any other phone supporting all oS?

i wish i have the answer to your question. I looking for a phone that supports WP7 and android. it seems that only HD2 have this support. I guess is because microsoft dont allow using the same hardware of WP7 devices on android devices on the same company, so it cannot use the source code of wp7 drivers to make android drivers. Then the community have to create drivers from scratch, witch is hard.

Its not necessary that the phone should support WP7 also. Is there any other mobile that will support all other remaining OS?

[Q] Mapping a shared Windows file to Android using Adhoc

I am newer to Android development but would like to know how to communicate with my Windows 8 (7 or XP) environment over Adhoc from my Android phone. I have researched this topic and I generally see people refer to the play store to download an app. I don't just want the functionality, but I want to know how to do it myself. Whether if there is a specific library I can use through android development, or if their is some command line option I can use via Android to do this.
So, how would I go about browsing files on my Windows machine without using an app? I know the Android O/S (at least what I gathered from the articles I have read) does not support this. So what are developers doing in their apps to create this connection? Or what is the best book to buy to help me understand how to do this?
Thanks!
