One of the things that I love about google analytics is that it tells you how some one came upon your site. In reviewing that information I've found that I get visitors that are seeking information on development for the AT&T Tilt. If you are one of the many who has happened upon this page because you were searching for that information allow me to [re]direct you.
The Tilt is a Windows Mobile device. Despite attributes that may be unique or characteristic of the Tilt it still conforms to the same APIs as many other Windows Mobile devices. By searching specifically for the Tilt you may be locking yourself out of a lot of good programming information that is also applicable to the device. If you would like to program for your Tilt (or any other Windows Mobile 5/6 device) get Visual Studio 2005 Professional or Visual Studio 2008 professional (if you get a version lower than this you will not be able to use it for Windows Mobile development). Download the Windows Mobile 6 SDK or the Windows Mobile 5 SDK and get the book "Microsoft Mobile Development Handbook."
If you run into problems or need helo or example code then take advantage of the Microsoft forums or community sites out there such as CodeProject.com. (When posting a question to a forum you will get much faster responses if you follow these rules).
If you cannot afford to purchase Visual Studio don't worry, you are not locked out from developing for Windows Mobile devices. I've uploaded some instructions to CodeProject.com on Windows Mobile Development without Visual Studio.
