Offline Mobile applications
I am newbie to PDA's and Oracle lite. I've been asked to look into the possibility of creating an offline mobile application where we can enter data on the mobile device and later synchronize the data to the main database when we get connectivity. Looking at documentation it seems Oracle Lite can synchronize with a 10g database automatically. Can anyone tell me have they done this and is it as easy as it sounds? Are there any recommended devices and device operating systems? The device I'm sourcing at the moment is Symbol PPT 8800 with either Win CE 4.1 or Windows Mobile 2003. Also what development tools can I use Visual Studio. Net, Oracle J developer?
Any advice would be much appreciated as I don't want to spend money on expensive portable devices to find out I can't install oracle lite and synchronize the databases.
Thanks in advance.
