Hi,

I think the answer is going to be yes, knowing that Ruby runs on Win  
CE… but can you please let me know if anyone has had any problems  
installing and using Ruby on Rails on Windows CE. I am going to use  
SQLite for Windows CE as my database (is this the best choice?).

Its just a smallish application im building, but I wont get the  
PocketPC for another few weeks, and I dont want to be stung!

Thanks!  
Rich.

Im using Windows Mobile 2003 (which is WinCE)

If you install it, please try an install Rails to see if it works!

Hye,

I have Windows Mobile 2005 and I was not able to use this ruby  
on my PDA.  
I cannot setup a functional console application.  
Any hints ?
