For windows mobile development , which is the best IDE to be used?What are the pre-requisites for windows mobile development?
For Windows App development, Visual Studio is definitely the software to consider. It packs many useful features and there is a lot of support available that comes with it. It is also free.
If you would like to develop for iOS, check out Xamarin for Visual Studio.

I need to create a new application for Iphone with Xamarin? Forms
Is it possible to do this without any windows system?
I know this sounds bizare but that is the requirment.
Yes, this is possible. You can develop Android and iOS apps with Visual Studio for Mac. Of course you won't be able to develop UWP apps.
With Visual Studio for Mac you can build websites with ASP.NET Core and apps using .NET Core, games with Unity, and mobile apps for Android and iOS using Xamarin. (emphasis mine, see here)
As far as xamarin is concerned, you can do just as much with the Mac version as with Windows. You just can not develop a Windows Phone app on the Mac.
I have been a seasoned .Net + Azure developer with master over all short-cuts & popular extensions available. I use Visual Studio even for Node Js development. I am trying to make a switch to MAC which seems impossible :-(
Quite surprised that even basic options like Open WebSite has been
missing in Visual Studio For MAC.
Has any of expert community member here, tried switching to VS for MAC and
found a way to open website written in Angular or React?
As Microsoft's website states, Visual Studio for Mac is a completely new IDE which needs a lot of development before you should use it for your real projects.
I would highly recommend to run a virtual Windows machine (or even Windows itself) on your Mac.
You could try though, to use Visual Studio Code with AngularJS on your Mac.
Edit 08.03.2018: by now Microsoft has done a lot for Visual Studio Mac. What you want will probably work.
Today is 2020 dec, I still cannot find the website feature in vs Mac. But it's reasonable because .net based website is run in Windows server. It doesn’t make sense to build in mac but execute in windows.
I have to developed applications through Visual studio which will run on windows mobile, windows Tablet as well as windows computer(desktop computer and laptop). I am planning to develop hybrid applications using HTML5/JavaScript/jQuery.
Please suggest, What type of software will required for developing this type of application.
Is there a place where I can get information on the different frameworks and how hybrid architecture should be used?
I recommend you:
Multi-Device Hybrid App extension for Visual Studio.
or
Intel XDK
Also Telerik AppBuilder which is an online (paid) tool
What do I need to install so that I can develop applications for Windows Mobile 6.5.3 devices, using Visual Studio 2008?
Since it took me like 3 days of research to figure out how to actually do this I'm creating this article to hopefully ease some others pain.
Firstly, have Visual Studio 2008 installed. Secondly, install these add on pieces:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh

You may not need to install all of these but I did and it won't hurt anything most likely. nextly
Open Visual Studio 2008 and create a new project for Smart Device click ok
Select Device Application on the main window with the icons and change the target platform to Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK. Click OK.
Right click on the the Project Name in the solution explorer and select Change Target Platform and choose Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional SDK. Click Ok.
The project will need to be closed and reopened.
That simple!
For Windows 10 (and probably some earlier versions) I think Andrew's answer is missing something important. It also includes some packages that shouldn't be needed for strictly 6.5.3 development. For reference, if you attempt to install the 6.5.3 DTK and missing anything, it should tell you.
At a minimum, you should only need the following:
VS 2008 Professional
Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK Refresh https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6135
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional DTK https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5389
Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver

Anxious to try our Visual Studio 2010 performance tools, but when I launch the performance wizard, it does not enumerate my XNA Windows Phone project as a project it can analyze, and instead just enumerates the XNA content project in my solution.
I installed VS 2010 SP1 hoping that because SP1 added performance tool support to silverlight, it would work for XNA Windows Phone as well. But it doesn't look like it.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
The emulator has a performance output (the numbers down the side). I would suggest using this, desktop performance and phone performance are not directly linked.
