Hello; Thanks for the responses, we would need real-time communication with the database server, and I was told that this App should be able to run on all PDAs out there.
So, the total time would be the ramping up time 60 hours and the development time of 160 hours for a total of 220 hours total. I could probably remove the requirement of this App working on all PDAs but just for Palm OS based system. I would like to look good by doing this project but I also do not want to hang myself and not be able to finish it.
