Hi Folks :)

I need a suggestion from you guys.

We are planning to develop windows mobile device applications which can be
loaded into Intermac PDA.
These PDA's will be used in various locations of the company.
These locations span around 300 miles range from corporate location
All locations are connected through wireless network.

Application functionality will be on spot employee work hours tracking, on
spot products receipts/shipments tracking etc.

At the end of the day all locations will upload/synchronise the data to
corporate location.

Database will be SQL 2000, SQL CE

I have less knowledge on PDA's

Scenario 1
    Develop windows mobile application and load in each PDA given to
various locations.
    At the end of the day all locations will upload/synchronise the data
to corporate location.

    I am thinking this scenario will give best performance for end user
point of view.
    because whole application is loaded into that PDA itself.

    I am seeing application maintainence will bedisadvantage with this

Scenario 2
    Develop asp.net mobile web application and load in main corporate
server .
    So every location will access the same site over PDA.

    I am thinking this scenario is best for application maintainence and for
corporate management.(they can see up to minute data).

    As web application needs to continuous internet connectivity and all
users are accessing the same server performance may go down.
    Am I right?

Finally we want best performance of the Application.
so Which Scenario you guys suggest ?
Is it scenario1 or scenario2 ??
