Can I retrieve the phone contact list in Windows Mobile 6.5? I am very new to Windows Phone applications.
Take a look at POOM.

I wanted to make an app in windows phone that takes in pen-computing input. Is there existing code infrastructure (templates and such) in the Windows Phone API that is available to the Windows Phone developer?
What I mean by pen-computing input is hand-writing input by users' fingers, giving us input like this:
Unluckily for Windows Phone 8 and Windows phone 8.1 InkManager class is not supported currently, so capturing handwritten input aint possible.
Though it works for windows 8 and 8.1 store apps which you can implement through Tutorial1 and Tutorial2
If you are focusing Windows phone would suggest to make app for Windows 10. They have release a better version of InkCanvas which is better than InkManager and works both store and phone apps being UWP. Check out this link for details on InkCanvas
I have a free windows phone app and I want to generate revenue from advertising. I choose google admob to do this task, but when I add my app to admob system, there is no choice for windows phone app. There is only choice for android and iOS. I know that the google admob has the sdk for windows phone 8 but how can I register my app to get Ad ID?
You can use the "unit ID" in your application as a Ad ID.
// "MY_AD_UNIT_ID" with your interstitial Ad unit id.
private InterstitialAd objInterstitialAd;
objInterstitialAd= new objInterstitialAd("MY_AD_UNIT_ID");
Here is the useful links for the same:
Register your app
Create an ad unit
Hope it helps
Admob doesnot support ad units for Windows phone in some countries. Thats why, it is not showing that option.
PS: not in India as well.
Is there any way I can do it without registering?The account is not registering me as a student and I cannot own a company just for this.
Juts follow this tutorial. All you have to do is sign in with your Microsoft account and your phone will be "dev unlocked". No windows phone developer account needed.

is it possible to create a custom account (similar to Microsoft Account,Facebook, Twitter, ...) in Windows Phone so that a user can setup an account of my Custom Type and then can sync data and so on.
It's something similar to using a SyncAdapter in Android.
can I achieve this in Windows Phone ? what are the APIs to use ?
Thanks
No, there is no way to setup your own account type.
But in Windows Phone 8 your application can add its own contacts to People hub. Here is basic samples:

And from this book you can get more details:

i look at the list of choosers for windows phone 7 and i miss one where i can read the avatar-pic fo the contact. am i missing something here or is this just not possible yet?
thx

This isn't possible through the phone SDK at the moment.
What is exposed is being able to retrieve the email address or the phone number from a chooser. Details on that here for reference.
