FWIW, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is a MUCH better development for the P=
ocketPC platform than MS Embedded Visual Tools.

I have done some C# programming for the PocketPC and with VS .NET it is b=
eyond easy.  Installation of the environment on both my 2000 and XP syste=
ms was easy and trouble-free.

I'm fairly sure there is a time-limited (60-day?) eval available.  You'd =
want MS Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003.

Can't speak for the Palm at all.  MS sent us (FREE!) Viewsonic V37 400MHz=
 PocketPCs to encourage us to write PocketPC software.  I have yet to rec=
eive even a brochure from Palm...
