Is the whole database going to be on the palm or are you going to need
real-time communication with the database server?

You will need to write a conduit. The wireless sync would talk to the
hotsync manager via wireless rather than via usb, but the backend would
be the same conduit. If that's unacceptable, then the problem is going
to be much harder.

What do they mean? Across all palm platforms, or do they mean across all
desktop platforms. In this case, what do they mean by all? All windows?
Windows, and mac? Windows, Mac, Linux?

Given that you've never written a PDA program and you've never written a
conduit, I would call this a fairly insane deadline even without getting
the clarifications above.

You will need the CDK for the conduit and PODS or prc-tools or
Codewarrior for the PDA development. dev.palmos.com is your friend.
