IDE for Windows Mobile 5.0 Professional

Question

I've been asked to write a piece of code for a Windows Mobile 5.0 Professional device.

My day to day code of choice is Java, but I'm up for a challenge, so I'm going to give it a go.

So what IDE and SDK should I be using?

I've downloaded Visual Studio 2010 (via msdn), but I'm not sure its the right choice.

Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks Jeff Porter

You need Visual Studio 2008 Professional (2010 has no device support other than Phone 7) and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK(s) - either Pocket PC or SmartPhone, whichever you're targeting.
