We are developing a client-server application for our client. The server half is completed, and the client half has been implemented as a text-based program running on PocketPC devices. We wish to re-implement the client half as a native PocketPC app, preferably in C# using the .NET Compact Framework, but we are open to other solutions. The communication is, unfortunately, over lossy low-speed serial, so part of this project will involve designing a protocol to deal with these issues with our engineers. This is an on-site+telecommute project. You do not need to come in every day, but we'd like to see you a couple of times a week. Alternatively, one of our engineers can come to you if you are in the New Jersey/Eastern PA area. The office environment is extra-casual (jeans and a t-shirt are fine).
