CodeWarrior is EOL. It's Dead. Its bugs have not been fixed since February 
2004. They never will be. The guy who wrote it told us that. 
That, IMHO, makes it a bad tool to base ones Palm OS development on.

PODS is CodeWarrior's replacement. It is what PalmSource point you to for Palm 
OS development. 
That, IMHO, makes it the tool one should base ones Palm OS development on.

BUT PODS is _severely_ broken, one _cannot_ use it to replace CodeWarrior, and 
PalmSource have neglected since its release 18 months ago to make the simple 
fixes so that it can.

CodeWarrior has been Dead for 18 months. 
PODS has been broken for 18 months. 
That IMHO makes Palm OS development a mess and makes Palm OS a much less 
attractive target to continue developing for, much more so than Palm bringing 
out Windows versions of its hardware.

[ My date for the mention of a Linux version of PODS is correct and came from a 
quote of Mr. Combee. It does not really matter though - the fact is that a 
Linux version is not available and it is stupidly remiss of PalmSource not to 
support Linux developers. ]
