I work a lot in Visual Studio and therefore have it installed so I have
not noticed that I needed it for the embedded toolkit to work. Also
looks at the disk as two seperate installations. Are you absolute sure
about this?

Also can agree on Linux, Familiar for Ipaq is nice. (

of context.

The Pocket PC tool chain is only free if you can also get the
appropriate
version of visual studio for free.

If you want a tool chain for free (as in beer), the Linux PDAs offer
that.

However, if you just want a terminal emulator there are a low cost
terminal
emulators for Pocket PC.  I haven't looked for Palm OS or Linux PDA
terminals,
but I bet they have some too.

It mainly depend on your own experience. If you have done some work on
the
Windows platform and WIN32 it would be fairly easy to code simple
terminal
emulator for Pocket PC. Just code it in your windows tool of choice and
do a
minor port when ready. Unicode and other small differenced is often the
only
points.  Otherwise I think you will find Palm equally easy to code for.

You have a free tool chain (Visual C++ and Visual Basic) for Pocket PC

If you needed to develop a program (terminal emulator with a few extra
features) on a PDA to interface with a periferal device, would you go
with Palm
or Pocket PC.

Thanks
