At Gartner, we are seriously looking at writing more and more applications
for mobile devices. The biggest reason we aren't strongly persuing this
with a
much wider audience is the lack of plaform independence of our users.

Microsoft dominates the PC but doesn't dominate the handheld market.

So, we are restricted to writing apps that we know have certain
types of devices for our designated user base.

That said, the .NET Compact Framework has helped us write
some survey applications for use at Symposium that have been
highly affective in increasing our response rate to key marketing
surveys.
