I see some references to C++, but there seems to be very little discussion and code for the Palm platform. Is C++ & OOP just not a popular choice? Is it not recommended for other reasons?
C++ is getting to be quite popular. CW for Palm OS V9 ships with the Object Library for Palm OS, a nice C++ class library that wraps a lot of the system into a OOP framework. Many apps are being built with this, and you'll find discussion of it at http://www.aqpoint.com/pol/.
C++ does have a size/speed penalty that's significant for very small apps, but isn't as much of a problem for larger applications. I did a presentation at PalmSource 2002 about how to use C++ effectively on the device and what features of the language you should avoid.
