I would recomend Java MIDP actually. Yes, it is a
bit more pesky to work with on the Palm OS but once you get a build process in
place it something you won't really need to mess with any more. You can download
the IBM Java toolkit form Palm's developer site. If your only writing a simple
data application then it should be quite trivial and you would then have code
that should work without a hitch on other devices such as Symbian, Windows CE
and Pocket PC.
For J2ME developement I use Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org
It's a very robust development tool and it is also
free.
To help with packaging the Palm Java midlet I use a
tool called J2MEPolish: http://www.j2mepolish.org/
This tool can automatically create a native Palm
executable file via the IBM development tools.
Code Warrior is a commercial product used for C/C++
for Palm but it's an IDE that has seen it's day come and go.
The PODS development environment is based on
Eclipse and is free from Palm so this is a better option if you want to do the
project in C/C++ but really C would be the best bet as thee are no C++ class
frameworkd available anymore for Palm.
For portability, Java is really the only way to go.
Also the API's are much easier to work with than standard Palm
API's.
Hope that helps.
