Since mvc4 mobile is still new and has limited info on it at the time, I was wondering if this mobile framework is meant for windows phone applications or is meant for mobile web browsers in general. In other words if i create a mvc4 mobile application, would it be compatible to use with all mobile browsers? Thanks for any info.
It is meant for mobile web browsers in general. More information and a list of how to test different browsers is located at http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/aspnet-mvc-4-mobile-features.

I am trying to build a website which would mostly be used / browsed via mobile. When choosing the IDE to develop this, I find out that VS 2005 supports Mobile Web form while in other IDEs (VS 2k8, 2k12, 2k15) I didn't find Mobile Web Form.
I know the different between the Mob and Normal Web form, However, I didn't understand why Mobile Web form is not available in other IDEs which I mentioned?
If I design in normal web page, will it fit in mobile?
ASP.NET Webforms and ASP.NET MVC can be made responsive using CSS media queries. In early days, developer used to create separate pages for mobile and desktop. Now, you don't have to create separate pages with separate css and you can avoid device detection logic and desktop to mobile redirecting.
In simple words, media queries allows you to decide each and every styling property of the HTML components on Desktop, tabs and mobile. Please learn some basic here at CSS media queries.

Developing ASP.NET pages for mobile device browsers does not differ substantially from developing pages for desktop browsers. To help you create applications for mobile devices, ASP.NET provides a System.Web.Mobile namespace devoted specifically to mobile Web development.
Sample Code:

jQuery Mobile Framework
I want to built website for Mobile Device i was search on the internet and found out that we can create using Asp.net MVC or Asp.net Mobile SDK..... then my query is which one should i go with ? MVC or Asp.net Mobile ?
I recommend you combine ASP.Net MVC application with JQuery Mobile API. Thus, you can easily develop platform independent mobile applications which includes smartphone specific events and effects.
Dear All,
We are planning to develop Mobile Applications.
Would you please let me know the following information, if you have an idea.

Many Thanks,

So, I'm not sure that I'm understanding your question correctly... When you develop a web application in ASP and host it on a server, both mobile devices and regular computers can use that application in their respective browsers.
It's important to realize the difference between a web application that can be accessed properly on a mobile device and an application that runs natively on a mobile device.
So, if you want to build an application that is accessible on mobile and desktop devices, then a web application is potentially a good choice.
The language you choose for your web application has no bearing on whether or not you will have success in allowing mobile users to access your application.
That being said, what you probably need is a good intro ASP book and (most importantly from your perspective) a good book on mobile website development.
I would like to begin developing for the Blackberry platform and, specifically, the Bold and also the Storm device which is coming out soon. Do I need to get into Java and J2ME or can I develop sites in ASP.NET and just keep utilizing the skills I already have?
I am completely new to mobile platform development and have no idea what it will take to target these Blackberry devices. I am hoping to continue to use my ASP skills.
To develop Blackberry Applications that are full-featured, have acceptable performance, and look nice, you need to use the RIM native apis.
You can use J2ME applications, but they typically don't mesh well with a full-keyboarded device.
And, of course, web apps will look even worse than that.
This question might help you. "Creating a mini-site in asp.NET that works on blackberry, Windows Mobile, and iPhone"
Are you talking about websites (because you say "develop sites in ASP.NET") or native Blackberry applications (because you say "developing for the Blackberry platform")?
Applications which run on the Blackberry use J2ME. If your application is accessed from a browser on the Blackberry, then it's the server the web app runs on that determines the language, not that it's being accessed from the Blackberry browser.
Then there's Blackberry MDS for integration with enterprise apps. I don't know much about this (never used it or seen an application that uses it) but it's described here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/mobile.jsp

If you are just doing web development, you don't need to know J2ME for Blackberry. J2ME is a supported JAVA framework for device specific applications. You just need to be familiar with HTML rendering for mobile devices
Assuming that you are building a web app that you intend to be loaded by a Blackberry browser, I suggest building mobile specific pages that are cross compatible across many devices types and configurations.
Look at the Blackberry Browser Development Guides which offer suggestions/best-practices for mobile web development that can applied to all of mobile web development.
Please read this https://web.archive.org/web/20150107061257/https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/index-139239.html
It talks about how one application should not mix RIM UI API calls with CLDC and MIDP API calls.
Ofcourse, I have to mention also that that link is really dated.
