They're definitely on the Symbol's Pocket PCs and eMbedded Visual C++ support is
very much like Visual C++ without some of the security options.

Symbol's devices are pretty pricey though, you might want to look for a
commercial device that also has a serial port.

Socket (http://www.socketcom.com) makes Compact Flash to serial adapters.  It
might be cheaper to by an adapter and a commercial device with a CF slot.

Be careful if you try to use a USB to RS232 adapter and a Pocket PC.  I have yet
to see a Pocket PC that's a USB host.
