Of course you can write ABC on a PDA (I do most of my ABC transcriptions
on my old Psion 3), but viewing and playing the files is harder.
Henning Kiel has made a ABC player for Psion. You can find it at:
http://student.physik.uni-dortmund.de/homepages/kiel/prgs_uk.html
I haven't tried the program myself yet, but as fas as I understand, it's
very limited.
There's also supposed to be an ABC Viewer for Palm Pilot at
http://www.biff.org.uk/dave/
but that link seems to be broken.
You should also have a look at Brenda Holloway's "Playback Machine":
