I have a project that requires an upload of data from PC to handheld. The
quantity will vary between 200KB to 500KB. The data consists of exam
preparation questions and answers. The transfer only needs to go one way;
from PC to handheld. I will be encrypting the data to make it harder for
someone to pirate the material.
My question is, what is the best methodology for this sort of thing. I have
identified several options:
1) Write a conduit.
2) Use the serial API and file streaming to push the data up.
3) Design a home-grown pdb maker to write the data into pdb format and use
the backup conduit to suck the pdb into the handheld.
If you know of other ways, let's hear 'em.
I need to consider speed, reliability, user friendliness, and future
support. I want to avoid having to rewrite the process as new PalmOS and
Hotsync versions come out.
