A Microsoft liberou alguns Design-Patterns e códigos fonte para facilitar a criação de aplicações móveis corporativas, as chamadas LOB's (Line-Of-Business Applications).
Uma aplicação LOB tem as seguintes características:

-It has a rich user interface that takes advantage of the power of the Windows Mobile device.
-It might use a gateway server and the most cost effective underlying network technology to connect to and exchange data with multiple back-end systems.
-It takes advantage of local caching and processing to enable operation during periods of no network connectivity or intermittent network connectivity.
-It is easily deployed and configured.
-It helps to keep local, potentially confidential information secure.
