Developing Windows Mobile on a MacBook Pro?

I am a frequent Windows Mobile application developer who needs a new laptop for development.

I am considering a MacBook or Macbook Pro running Fusion with VMWare or Parallels Desktop. This will give me the opportunity to transfer my applications to iPhone depending on what MS does with WM 6.5 and 7.

Has anyone tried doing Windows Mobile development using Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center (or ActiveSync) and VS2008 on a MacBook Pro using one of these virtual machines? Is the device emulator working correctly? How about debugging a Windows Mobile device via a USB cable?

Typically, most USB drivers (not HIDs) designed to run on Windows work under these virtual machines?

I’m always doing cross-platform development (iPhone and Windows Mobile) on my Macbook (13 "unibody). Visual Studio 2008 runs on Windows XP on Parallels VM. USB skipping also works fine for debugging.

I would suggest that you have 4Gb ram (minimum) if you do this, but it works very well.

The passthrough option for VMware USB works quite well. I have no personal experience using this application to connect Windows Mobile devices to a guest OS.
