C# and PalmOS

[FlyBoy]

is it possible to develop app's for PalmOs using C#\.NET ????

 

and if its possible...do i need to install something special on the Palm itself?

As far as I've heard no.

 

You can program on Pocket PC with the .Net Compact Framework.

 

Regular .Net is limited to Linux, OSX, Windows and some BSD/Unix builds

and what about cellular phones? (at least some of them...) is it possible?

For devices (anything thats not a desk/laptop) it needs to be running Windows CE/Pocket (as far as I've heard)

 

Doesn't matter if it's a refridgerator, cell phone, pda, watch, tv, etc.

 

It also has to have a means to put software on it, like a flash card or some flash memory to hold a program and/or the Framework.

 

Some phones do run Windows Pocked Edition, those are the pocket PC/phone combos. There might be others that I'm unaware of.

 

I have no clue what most standard phones even run. I'd assume they use a common OS/whatever otherwise the games on them would all have to be custom written for each brand. Since I've seen some of them run Java and some have web browsers, I think there is an OS.

 

Eventually the .Net Compact Framework (if it's a success) will be ported over like the .Net Framework has been.

im asking this since programming for cell's is really interesting me in the last couple of months...but i dont know anything about it.

and if i have to learn java\j2ee for that...i'll do it.

AppForge Crossfire allows you to write applications in .NET for Palm, PocketPC, and most phones. It is pricey ($1000), but it does what you want.
