Actually, it depends on what you mean by "writing in C++".  Building a
fully object-heavy program for the Palm, as if it were a desktop
system, is probably something you might want to think about before
jumping into. Writing using all .cpp files is fairly simple, and
doesn't add much to your program. (Since it looks like the main reason
the OP wants to do this is for compatibility with a C++ library, this
sounds close to the path he might want to take.) The main things to
watch out for are RTTI (Run-Time Type Identification) and virtual
functions within objects; there are some issues regarding those that
can probably be found by searching the archives of this group.

(And I'd like to make a plea for helpful messages on this forum;
messages saying only, "It is true" don't really add much to the
understanding of the original poster. If someone's going to take the
time to post, I'd urge them to attempt to provide reasons or
background for their claims; it provides a more helpful message, as
well as letting people know whether what the poster is talking about
is even applicable to their question.)
