First Windows Mobile App?

Here are my questions.  If anyone can answer any of them I would greatly appreciate it.  Or if there is somewhere else I should post the questions, please let me know as well.

Thanks Again,

I am very sorry for the broad nature of this question, but I want to develop my first Windows Mobile App and am not entirely sure where to start.  I have Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

I have a few major questions, but if there is anything else that anyone thinks I should know, please don't hesitate to tell me.

1) I would like to target PDA's and Smart Phones running Windows Mobile (5.0 I guess?).  What project type do I pick?  I don't see Windows Mobile as a choice (But I understand that I can do this with VS...).

2) Do I have to do anything special to get this to work on the PDA or Smart Phone?

3) How do I test this type of application?  Do I need both a PDA and a Smart Phone?

4) My application will link up with a desktop application that uses a Microsoft Access 2007 database.  Can I use a similar database on the handheld, or will I need to use something like XML to store all of my data?

5) How would I transfer data from my desktop application to the handheld application?

6) How do I determine hardware requirements, etc.?
