  Hi David/Mike, I asked this question some time back in the early days of XNA (beta 1.0), but given the developments of recent times, I'll ask again: Is there any intention to port XNA to Windows Mobile? Even a restricted engine, like the one for the Zune (i.e. 2d only) would be fantastic.  It would be really nice to have a modern framework with which to develop managed games on Windows Mobile.  Managed DirectX on Windows Mobile is pretty much dead due to th desktop version being deprecated, has poor support and virtually no documentation. Looking forward to your response. Cheers, Michael.
