    I just finished reading this post http://forums.asp.net/t/1419732.aspx about developing mobile web applications.  I need to develop a web app that is targeted specifically for mobile devices.  Prior to vs2008 I used the System.Web.UI.MobileControls and used the mobile controls on the aspx page.  So I used <mobile:Label>, <mobile:TextBox>, <mobile:Link>, etc.  I'm now using VS2008 and from reading the previous post, it seems that I just simply create a normal web app and use <asp:Label>, <asp:HyperLink>, <asp:TextBox>

    What I keep getting conflicting info on is the use of the <mobile:> controls and downloading the template to use in vs2008.  Do I need to use <mobile> or not?  Sorry, but it seems that I read just use regular asp controls then someone says to download the template and use <mobile> controls.  Can someone please clear this up for me?

    Also just to throw a curve into this, I need this to be in two different languages.  I'm planning on using resource files to handle this but wondered if there's anything I need to be aware of when it comes to mobile.

     Thanks so muc
