Not yet :-/
The only book on game development for PDA is the "PPC game programming" by
J.Harbour.
There is even a mailing list on yahoo about PPC-Games development, with
peoples like J.Romero involved (now that he do games for PPC with
monkeystone), but nothing that I kown of about PalmOS.

The PPC Books is focused on this arguments, but for the "other" platform.
