Doing some more googling, I stumbled on DialectCE
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42170&package_id=35503

this seems to be an on-device programming language for pretty much any windowsCE device, and can produce on-device executable files without runtimes.
There is a desktop version as well, and files should be interchangeable.
The exe's are a bit large, probably due to a buildin runtime or something, but ah well. a small price I guess.
from some sample code I found in the manual it seems like there is networking capabilities as well.

It don't look that bad Shame the complied exe's are quite big The thing is I can basicly only write in Visual Basic and I don't want to learn a new language but programming on device sounds good

Julio Ortiz is a Dialect fan, is a shame that he is pulling out of development. Perhaps we can change his mind

gee ... nice to have a onboard programming language. Am I hearing right? The binary is cross-platform? Or is the source-code cross-platform?

well ... actually, if you do visual basic, its not too difficult picking up most of the other languages ... ... from personal experience. mmm ... ok, I learnt QBASIC (and apparently BASIC b4 that!) before I learnt C, then Visual C++ and much later, Visual BASIC. But I still think if you know VB, it is already easier to learn other languages.

What is a Dialect language like? I've programmed in VB, C, C++, Perl, but never on Dialect
