Distributing my Windows Mobile app outside of marketplace?

Hello all friendly Windows Mobile Developers!

I have a simple question: Can I distribute my Windows Mobile App outside of the Marketplace?

If so, how is this done? Can I from my phone send an app, I have developed my self, to another person in the same room?

I am aiming for Windows Mobile version 6.5, though if any one has some input on this I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance!

Yes.

You can just make a CAB file (which is how mobile applications are deployed) by creating a mobile app deployment project in Visual Studio. This link describes that: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zcebx8f8.aspx

Then, you can deploy the output of that project. One popular way to do this is to create a desktop installation project which installs the CAB file to the device. This link describes how to do that with a custom action for an installer project again using Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158529.aspx
