Please help me start programming for mobile phones

[Julia]

Hello
I recently purchased emblaze alpha p8 mobile phone
(http://www.wapzon.com/web/devicedetail.asp?Pid=4351&Bid=66)
which as far as I know running Windows© CE.NET 4.1 OS.

I want to start programming but I am lost in Microsoft tech words
and road map for mobile programming

I am MSDN universal subscriber and I assume I can get all the needed tools

My questions are:

1.Where can I get emulator for CE.NET 4.1? or should I need to use a
specific
emulator for alpha p8?!?!

2.How exactly I upload my program into my mobile phone?
(I have infra red and GPRS)
Can I somehow connect the phone to my PC? or should I need to upload my
software to the web?!?
3.Should I invest in CE.NET and derived for mobile programming
(I always uses MS tools and technologies)
4.I am espcailly looking for game programming(in any language) for CE.Net


Thanks

For Game Programming, you can use one book, which is very good in my
opinion.
Pocket PC Game Programming: Using the Windows CE Game API (By Premiere
Press), which deals with c++.
