I've got a couple concerns with Sat Forms: 1. All the POSE errors it generates :) 2. I'm not convinced that it's that scalable.
This really depends on your app. I've been involved with enterprise-scale projects where an initial mockup was developed in SatForms, and then of course the customer says "can't we just have that?" The problem is, the demo version never was populated with as much data as the actual production app would hold. When a large number of records are present on the device, performance degrades severely. So again, it really depends on the app--whether it's a commercial end-user app, or a custom enterprise app. Make sure you've tested your SatForms code with data that's representative of the actual production data. Remember that you can't do anything about bugs/problems in SatForms discovered by POSE, but you can do something about bugs in your C code. POSE may be telling you your app won't work on future versions of PalmOS, another thing to consider . . .
