Palm OS Development is a mess. - We have been developing for Palm OS with CodeWarrior. - CodeWarrior is now at End Of Life. - Palm (seem to) want us to use the Palm OS Development System (PODS) instead. - PODS does not support ARM C++ code with language basics such as global variables, virtual functions, function pointers, etc. etc. Other tools exist to provide some or all of these, if you are willing to jump through "hoops". - PODS does not run on Linux, although support is planned. Or at least, we were told in April 2004 that it was planned. - PODS developers are supported by three seperate email lists, at Palm.com, Palmos.com and Developer2Developer at Palmsource.com where their questions are randomly answered or ignored. The "Developer2Developer" board has currently had 6 posts, since April.
