Default Run WinMo Apps?

I am wondering if there is any type of library or environment where I could run a program written exclusively for WinMo 6. I can't post the app here due to copyright issues, but is this possible?

I can think of lots of programs that are not available for the android. I don't think the android has a large enough base for many outfits to utilize the wonderful potential of the android. For now the vast number of apps to me are cute little things operating in a insular little bubble.

Hope things change but for now I keep my HTC Wmo phone around

Oziexplorer, there's nothing so powerful for off road navigation in android.

No. You cannot.

Android = Dalvik/Java
Winmobile = C/C++ and/or DotNet

Pretty much all of the significant apps have been made from scratch for android. If you want a specific app, the best way to go about it is to bug the developer of that app. It is a good guess that they may be already working on a version for android and/or thinking about it. Your request might be the only thing they need.
