Accessing SQL Mobile Databases in VB2005 - Pocket PCApp

I am using VS 2005 to develop a Pocket PC 2003 application and for some reason I dont have the ability to assign my datasource to a SQL Mobile Database?

When opening Server Explorer, right clicking Data Connection, Add New Data Source, Change Data Source, the only options I get are

Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft ODBC Data Source
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server Database File
Oracle Database
<other>

I was trying to follow the tutorial

Step by Step: Developing a SQL Mobile Application with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp)

and in that tutorial when they do the exact same thing it shows a screen shot that also lists 'Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition'

Any ideas why I dont have that option? FYI, I have SQL Server 2005 and have installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition.

Thanks

Mike
