You don't need a physical unit to start developing. Just get the Palm OS
Emulator (POSE), and the ROM images. You can test on any device you want,
all for free. http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/emulator/
Of course, you should by a unit anyway, simply because you'll never regret
it :). However, I'd suggest getting the unit you want, and not one you
think is good for "development", as you'll probably use POSE for most
development.
