hi there!
i am going to start designing a game for 2 players that can be played through
the net, via wifi or network or bluetooth. where should i start? which library
should i look into? netlib? is there any working sample source code out there?
For the game part you try Razor! that is free:

but apparently has been discontinued about 1-2 years ago. So:
- do not supports collapse screens
- do not detect recent devices capabilities (do not detect LD Arm for
example)
You can use it but you need to modify it to make it working sweet for
current devices.
There is also a very nice paid lib for games - GapiDraw:

never tried it but I have the feeling that it is more oriented for
Pocked PC, not sure.
Regarding the net I have nothing to add regarding libs, check the list
if you find something:

Also why begin your first release a multiplayer? begin a single player
game and get the feedback of the market, so you can improve the game and
make the multiplayer a second step with a better idea of what you really
want - just an idea.
Also focus on bluetooth, Palm players do not like IR or do not like to
play over Internet they like to play with co-works with bluetooth. Yes
you can add IR, WIFI and TCP/IP after have it working over bluetooth as
is easy to add after but keep your focus.
