I am going to put your book on my list for purchase recommendations!  I
am currently investigating the PalmOS as a development platform.

I am, in fact, specifically researching for the Palm VII/VIIx/i705.  You
say PalmOS5 doesn't support the wireless? or the INetLib?
Palm OS 5 supports wireless technology, but everything it supports is able to use plain NetLib -- 802.11b, Bluetooth, GPRS -- or uses the SMS layer (short messaging).

Does Palm 5 have something else to replace it?
NetLib -- Greg Winton's book "Palm OS Network Programming" is an excellent tutorial/reference on that.

If I use that new method, will it still work on the Palm VII/VIIx/i705?
No. Those devices require INetLib to go wireless, but its a dead-end beyond the life of those devices (actually, its likely the Tungsten W will support it, but that's because its still a Palm OS 4.1 device, and it will support NetLib too).
