Quentin,

     (Warning - some of this email may sound like a sales pitch, as I work
     for the computer concerned!)

     Not quite a palmtop, but I use one of Husky's handheld FS3 PCs (as
     sported by a lot of meter readers, telecom engineers, loggers, and
     others) with Atmel's ISP cable, to program Atmel AVR's regularly.

     I would use it for PICs, but I've never got around to building a ISP
     board, and microchip don't supply such a thing.

     As for Palmtops - How long before some one (not microchip for sure!)
     ports a PIC assembler, simulator and programmer to WinCE so we can
     easily PIC on the move??

Hi
Anybody managed to used a Palmtop as a field programmer?
It would be nice to use it for serial programming (serial EEPROMS, etc.).
Also to program PLC.'s, but that is another story.

Beats dragging a Laptop around.
