Stuart: There is a very reasonable solution for wireless applications for the PalmOS. I suggest visiting http://www.astawireless.com for more information.
ASTA Provides different types of servers (and the source code if you need it) for different needs. They also have a client piece for the Palm. I can say that PocketStudio 1.0 (http://www.pocket-technologies.com) has ASTA samples built in. PocketStudio 1.1 (due out in the next week or so) includes ASTA project wizards that layout the code for you. The wizard will actually connect to the server during development time and let you pick the tables and fields you want to work with. Once the wizard is complete, you will have a good starting place for a complete wireless thin client application. If you are not using PocketStudio (although I think you should *at least* check us out <g>), ASTA provides clients for just about every development tool for the PalmOS (and PocketPC, Windows, and Linux) including CodeWarrior, NS/Basic, AppForge, and the rest. IMHO Steve (ASTA) has good pricing, solid technology, and great support. Cheers! Douglas Olson - President & Co-founder Pocket Technologies, Inc.
