Please check the web site for my company (below). My app lets users
collect data without any network connection, then send data whenever
they connect.

If you are willing to involve a PC and ActiveSync, you can write an
app that runs under "big" Windows and uses RAPI to extract data from a
connected Windows CE device and send it wherever you want.

You could also use tcp/ip (probably FTP) in a program running on the
device.
