How so? For example, wrapping some of the Palm string functionality will
greatly reduce the LOC you have to write (see the Palm Foundation Classes
project at SourceForge for a poor example - it's mine, so I say such things
:) - of such a class). The reuse OO frameworks support will greatly pay off
in the long run.

Man, I'd find it a lot easier to transition onto the platform if there was a
framework to hide some of the memory gotchas...as would many others, I'll
betcha.
Note that the PocketPC supports Visual Basic and Visual C++, and although we
all love to hate those devices, frameworks (MFC and CString, for example)
can really help shorten your development cycle and increase the quality of
your code.
