yeah, palms are easy to program, and there are a ton of free compilers out there for it. I built a robot in college based on the Palm platform.
The pocket PC, you need to have at least PPC2003 do do anything with Visual studio, otherwise you need a different compiler. I know there's EVB, EVC and some other free ones out there. We've got a Dell axim running custom software on a custom 156V 600A controller: http://blog.evfr.net/?p=35 It has been updated, but its working, and the axim x5 was $50, serial cable was 5 locally, and its got compact flash AND SD for expansion. I wonder if there are palm emulators for the pocket pc? that would be pretty cool. Great job on the software. I know there are a lot of alltrax users out there that would love this program.
