How is the 770 programmed? It's a linux box, right?

Mainly C/C++, I guess.

What about the ones based on Pocket Windows or whatever it's called,
like the iPAQ? How are they programmed? Is there any

Oh, this is MS, it must be C# then :-)

high-level-language support for them? Even C or (sigh) basic would be
better than itsie bitsie machine language.

I think there are quite a few options. I'm sure C, .net and others are possible. I'm currently playing with EWE, something java based/related, but optimized for small devices (www.ewesoft.org). It doesn't give the nicest looking applications, but my app will run on my Zaurus, on my Linux desktop and the XP Laptop. And if ever my boss pays me a PocketPC Smartphone Edition mobile, it will even run on my phone. By the day the Nokia 770 is available in Switzerland, support for this device might be available...

In short: yes, high level languages are available. The day I got my Nokia, I'll try to install perl on my Zaurus. And run Slimserver off it :-).
