   palm tx
  Do any of youA) Have any resources for,B) Have programmed for,C) Know anyone who has programmed withThe Palm TX Platform? A company I am contracted under may be switching to it within the near future, which means they will be the device I spend a majority of my time programming. Thus, I would like to know any development resources or gossip about the device before any such thing occurs =/   
  I haven't programmed for Palm devices for a few years, but I do have experience.It is an okay platform, in spite of its quirks.  The best tool out there was the Metrowerks compiler.  There were others out there, but not nearly as good.  The second best was the GCC toolchain, and that was pretty bad.  The Metrowerks IDE was awful, but functional.  Hopefully it has improved.  Overall, though, the development tools are slightly better than most other embedded programming (except WinCE).  In other words, they suck.  But the Palm tools sucked a little less than others.The biggest gripe I had at the time was the stack/heap size.  The other gripe has pretty much been phased out, and that is that older devices only worked with 'database' objects in 64K blocks.  If you are used to multi-GHz desktop computers, you will need to re-think a few habits for handhelds, especially when it comes to algorithms that require a bit of CPU work, and anything involving much memory or custom drawing.  But that just come with the territory for handhelds.
