Windows CE vs PalmOS version

[Bo Vandenberg]

At the small risk of being unpopular here I would suggest you really
consider whether you need to write the app in python.

You might want to consider mature developement packages for the palm if this
is a professional project. Running an interpreter on a compartively weak
processor is a lot of overhead. While you might link into a python program
on the base computer, manipulate the data etc... I would suggest you run as
close to hardware as you can on the pda. Plan it to run on the cheapest
palm.


I could be wrong of course :) but I think the python implemenations on palm
and winCE are a little young.

I hope some people have concrete experience to prove me wrong ??? :) ?!!!
