General question re: data storage on WM6 devices

[Jack Black]

This is more of a general question related to data management on mobile
devices/smartphones than anything specific. Up until now, I've petty much
relied on storing data in my mobile (NOT smartphones) applications using
XML; there really didn't seem to be any truly good and small
(footprint-wise) data management available.

How do you guys manage storing data in your mobile apps? I'm looking at SQL
Server Compact 3.5 for a new app I'm about to start for a smartphone (WM6
Pro), but at 2-3Meg it looks a little heavy. Thoughts on this? Anyone
using it for their smartphone apps?

Thoughs? Thanks!
Jack

Jack,

If it will help your decision, SQL Compact is in ROM already on WM 6
devices. The version in ROM is not 3.5, but if the extra meg or two makes a
difference, you might find the version installed meets your needs without
installing 3.5.

You can also have a look at VistaDB or SQLite.
