I hope someone ponders the question seriously.  I personally do not enjoy
developing with deadlines in C and knowing that the APIs and Screens are
completely different between Palm and CE.  The user interfaces of the
underlying operating systems present two different User Interfaces.  It
really requires two completely separate sets of code to provide the
appropriate user interface in your system.  Maybe 10% to 20% of your code
could be common between the platforms, but then there is the endian issues,
so it really isn't worth trying to have a common code set, in my opinion.

My problem is that I want to develop for multiple pda platforms and have as
much as possible common code and use a higher level language that "takes
care of" all the standard memory management, file I/O, etc as possible.
This generally reduces development time considerably.  I'm not knocking C,
you can do anything and do it quick in a small footprint.  But PDAs are
getting pretty fast, have lots of memory, which makes the high level
languages with their runtime modules a reasonable user experience.  These
high level IDEs all seem to allow access to modules you write in C, so if
there is something that requires that speed, level of API access, etc, then
write it in C and link it in.

With that said, what really are the IDEs that provide these features.  I am
currently looking for such a solution.  All of my experience with Palm OS is
with CodeWarrior on Win.  Works great, but development time is excessive due
to the language and APIs, I'm hoping in comparison to high level languages
for PDAs.  Since most of my experience in recent years is in Microsoft
Visual Studio, I would feel most comfortable with that type of IDE.  So
there is my wish list.

So, is Java the answer?

Thanks for your input in advance.
