Others have suggested reptoids and ardiri.com - both are great sources! The guys from Astraware did a presentation @ PalmSource in US last December - it's a good start as well. (They promised to put up the sample code at http://www.astraware.com/palmsource2000 but haven't had a chance to do it yet. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge! :) ).
