I'll stay away from the religious wars. One way or the other, most applications can be done on either platform with reasonable success. One thing to look out for: think of the future, not just current devices. Both Windows CE and Palm OS will be making major changes to their architectures in the coming year or two. If you choose your dev tools carefully, they will insulate you from a lot of the hassles that will be caused. We've been doing a lot of work on this here. User's applications written in NS Basic will be able to run without change in Cobalt, Windows CE 5.0 or whatever finally comes out. There are well known and widely used dev tools (among them eMbedded Visual Basic and CodeWarrior) that will not make the jump.
