Ok it does need some manual tweaking at the moment, but hey it's better than being poked in the eye with a burnt stick :D ...

Check out the Delphi CF demo here ('http://bdntv.borland.com/bds/2006/CFinBDS2006.html')! ( Needs flash )

As I understand it - this means it is possible to run delphi apps on PDAs that use Windows CE? Is that correct?

I watched the presentation and it seems like a a lot of work that surely could have been made a little easier to. I suppose it would not be to hard to knock up a support application to generate a compile command line.

I was impressed by the fact that user interface can be created using WYSIWYG now. Of course, there are some nasty steps required to make it work, like removing unexistant properties and specifying paths, but:

1) You can create a batch file for compilation options and paths.
2) There are tools like Compact Framework Build Helper (http://www.jed-software.com/preview/CFBuildHelper100.exe) and Compact Framework project preprocessor (http://cc.borland.com/item.aspx?id=23609) for BDS 2006.
