Although Windows Mobile (and Microsoft technologies in general) seems not sexy, but like it or not, they are widely used for enterprise usage.

We have the opportunity to work with one of our Jakarta client building a Windows Mobile application that interfaces with a Ruby on Rails RESTful web service. After a couple of months developing, we just finished it several weeks ago.

The Windows Mobile (WM) software, developed using Net CF 2.0 with C# Managed Codes and .Net ADO technology,  is to be used for one of the distributors of automotive oil in Indonesia, to be used for about 60 salespeople for sales management.

The data collected is then synced with the Ruby on Rails REST web service.
