[DUG] OT Phone and Windows compatibility

[Ross Levis]

I believe all Windows phones currently use ARM processors and Delphi
requires Intel.

 

One of the new Windows Surface's uses an Intel chipset and should run
standard Windows apps.

 

Looks like the future may be brighter with Intel releasing lower power and
faster chips later this year, so Windows 8 phones should soon be running
desktop apps.

The answer is a simple "No". Don't let the "Windows" bit fool you.

> Android SDK

I downloaded this a while back and had a fiddle. The question is, how
compatible is the windows on cells and is MS working to be more compatible
or redefining things again for the phone specifically.

 

I have Android at present and it is great, but I have a PC, tablet and phone
and I would like to combine the Phone and Tablet into one. I think a stylus
is then a must for the small screen. Have you every tried to work a
spreadsheet on your phone ?     

 

Oh what I would do to have Office97 on my phone.

 

Back to the main question, do you think a Delphi 6 app will work on a
Windows 8 phone ?
