Guys - the roadmap has been up for a long time now - it clearly states 
there is no CF support in RAD Studio and no WinForms. WinForms has been 
replaced by Microsoft with XAML, and CodeGear has fairly clearly 
indicated that native code is their focus. CF looks like a possibility 
in the long view from my memory of the roadmap, but certainly isn't 
there even in the next version (which is Unicode and Generics).
