It depends on the size of your installer how you do things... Two of my products are small enough that I include ARM, MIPS and SH3 builds all together and the installer sorts out which to use.

It doesn't sound like that will be an option for you, I'm betting the executable and everything else is a fair size... I'm not sure what the acceptable cut-off really is, but I'd guess anything that someone has to download above about 2 megs you probably want to avoid.

If that's the case, separate installers is the way to go. As for configurations, SH3 is obviously dead, MIPS is still nice to support if it's not going to cause you any trouble. ARM is a given, and maybe you have an X-Scale-optimized version too.

As for OS concerns, I'm not sure you have to differentiate between them... You would be going by CPU type, either MIPS or ARM (and maybe an optimized XScale version). Since ARM could be PocketPC, 2k2 or uber-Windows Mobile Edition 3008 (or whatever it is now), you wouldn't go by OS I think. At least I never have.
...and so I said to Mr. Gates: "$640 billion should be enough for anyone!"

I'll gladly help...

michael[at]walkergroup.com

My iPaq broke yesterday when I took a rather nasty bike fall (it was in my pocket), and today I'm taking it back to CompUSA to trade it in. I'll probably have a 2215, but I'll edit this once I get it.

[EDIT]It's going to take a week until I get it. It's a long story, but if you haven't picked people by then I'd love to.[/EDIT]

No one even said he was looking for beta testers...

You still need webspace to use the img tag too.
