PHP, Apache, MySQL on Windows Mobile?

I'm looking at buying a nice Pocket PC. Most of what I do on my computer now is web development... I'd like to be able to do it on my handheld. Is there a version of PHP/Apache/MySQL that will work with windows mobile? Or would the normal version be able to install?

I'm just curious, and want to find out before I go any further with it. I'm sure I'd be able to work through the web to test if I had hosting, and internet access.... but I'd like to have the self-supporting localhost setup that is normally used to debug.

Why not get a EEEPC from Asus that runs Linux and already has that stuff pretty much built in?

This is probably the easiest way to install it on windows...

but when you install the alphabet soup of web apps/services don't be surprised when you run into configuration errors.

I already use it on Windows.... I've got that under control... I was just wondering about using it on a handheld, but thanks.
 
Windows mobile runs 32bit windows applications, and what I linked is pretty basic. However, I still suggest running a mobile Linux device where that stuff already pretty much exists natively.

Yeah, I think you are spot-on about devices running linux, but it would be weird for me to change the way I do things. With windows, I'll know what I'm doing.

I don't like the Eee PC, because it has many of the same limitations as other (normal sized) notebooks. You did, however, inspire me to look for other Windows XP/Vista(not preferred) devices. I really like the Sony VAIO Micro PC, and I've seen nothing but good reviews. It meets every requirement/expectation I have with any device, but is about double the price.

Anyway, thanks for your help, now I need to consider user-friendliness vs. price.
