Flash on a PDA

Hi folks,

Does anyone here have any experience of making Flash animations for use
on a PDA? The reason I ask is that I have been asked to produce a
product that will be used on PDAs as well as on desktop PCs, and I have
already decided that Flash is the most suitable platform for what the
client wants.

I've used Flash before, but I've not had to make anything that for PDAs!
What size would be good to create the animation at? I've noticed that
there are several templates in Flash MX 2004 that cater for PDAs, but
which of these are going to be the most useful in the *real world*?

Cheers,

Man, that's a tough one. PDA's come in a wide variety of screen sizes,
resolutions, and color depths.
Not to mention special navigation devices for diferent brands.

Works fine on Windows Mobile 2003. We did a few experimental things and
it worked well.
