You know, I didn't make the connection until now, but in 2001 I recall there was another GUI IDE front-end to the GCC toolset for Palm which was released, in beta form as I recall, for only $20 or so. And it looked promising (even had many classes and wizards for common things) but nothing ever came of it and it was withdrawn. At the time it struck me as ironic it was referred to as Mobile Studio C++, or MS for short. I remember it was a Chineese company and sure enough, searching my archives for messages from their product support forum, it was in fact produced by MobileSoft labs. So over 4 years ago, there were developing their own toolsets and classes for use with Palm OS development. Even with how much Mobile Soft has been mentioned in palm os related news this year, it never dawned on me until now that was the same company which floated a trial balloon on a C++ based IDE a few years back.
