From playing around with a couple projects, this is what I've observed: Doesn't have its own build tool. Relies on another environment's tools (like Visual C 6.0, Borland 4.5, pre 6.0 versions of VC, and eMbedded VC 3.0) No Codewarrior support, but they do have GCC and PRC-Tools support.

not everyone loves OSS - accept it. have you thought that most people dont develop on the Palm for a full time job? some people are hobbyists when it comes to this, so any form of money is good - even if its not enough to make a living. I can tell you right off that if we were to go

Hey Sam, I figured it out. In the Handspring manual, I looked it up, and I guess it's explained like this: Section II - 16, DkManual.pdf, 1999: Whenever a module is inserted and after copying and executing the Module setup application (if present), the system looks for a welcome application

Well, you could download the demo on Penright's page and try it out and see if you like it or not! (I'm going to, just out of curiosity, since once in a blue moon we need to do a CE app, since we work with Symbol products quite a bit.) I'd imagine that it isn't too different from most rapid

RE: BITMAP IMAGES

Write an app and use Constructor to display a bitmap. You can also dynamically create and install bitmaps into forms using the Palm OS SDK APIs. Or, if you just want a startup logo (like a power-on type thing) check out LogoHack on www.palmgear.com . If you use that, you'll need Hackmaster

The Vx is a good unit. If you're looking to do any kind of flashy color-type app, I'd suggest getting a IIIc or Handspring Prism, but then again, you could just use POSE for any of those, too. (But the color ones are really fun to demo to prospective clients...just wish I could afford one
