I just got a palm for christmas, an m130, I use it as a remote control for everything in the house

I think that just using GCC-palm on a host development platform and then uploading it to the handheld is probably the best way. There is also a myriad of interpreters for the Palm, as I was looking at getting one at one stage. I've seen ones for scheme, python and a few others.

CodeRed, i got the Palm m130, how did u do that ? Infrared ?

Use the infrared port and get a remote program from http://palmgear.com/ (I have a Handspring Visior DX). Good remote program is http://palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?prodID=2929 (14 day trial... delete/reinstall and get another 14 day trial)

On topic: Does anyone know of any good IDEs for Palm C/C++ or good tutorials for GCC-palm?

I got my palm to do that a while back. it was a pain in the ass to "train" it though.

Great, I didn't know you could use a Palm as a remote.

AnyoneEB: For the IDE, I've found none that were free. You might as well use Any-Good-Editor and command-line GCC-palm to do you developpement. Palm.com developper section probably include all the docs you want to get started on Palm programming. I say "probably" because I haven't started programming for my Cli? myself.

If you don't care about using a shareware program, you can search for PilotMAG which is a nice IDE for GCC-palm. It includes a resource editor:

When programming for the Palm OS I use the PocketStudio Pro from Pocket Technologies. I really enjoy being able to use the Delphi Pascal language for programming the Palm.. Heh.. Now I just need to purchase my Palm (they were all out, so I had to wait).

how much does a palm cost these days? Had thoughts on getting one some time ago, but .. oh.. well..

About ?180+ for one with a colour screen.

My m130 was $180, 256 color, 8mb internal memory (which is actually quite a lot, I can't seem to fill it up) They're very nice toys to have, especially for college kids

Hehe.. Well I work with some graphics as well, so I decided to get an SD Card for it from the start.. A 64MB one, which is just about enough.. :)
