Create Palm OS Apps Via Web Service
A new web service called AppArtist allows non-programmers to create Palm OS apps. It uses a drag & drop interface. Currently, users can place buttons, labels, and bitmaps onto forms, and can navigate between forms with button actions. It also has an app icon editor. The next version will allow database functionality so users can create more complex apps.
The service is initially priced at $10 per month, which includes unlimited service and support.
There are no applications or browser plug-ins needed to run AppArtist. No run-time helper app is required use use the apps it creates and users are free to distribute the apps they create.
AppArtist allows the user to specify many aspects of the Palm OS app. A user can set the program name, program version, creator ID and program icon. Apps can have multiple forms. On each form a user may place any number of Labels, Buttons, or Images.
Suggested uses include conference guides, marketing materials, prototypes of complex Palm programs, and more.
People interested in AppArtist might also check out PDA Toolbox, a stand alone application that allows creation of Palm apps without coding.

RE: Looks enticing....NOT!
What happens to the ablility to update these apps when these fools go out of business?
RE: Looks enticing!
though I'd prefer to use TealInfo. I love TealInfo... and you can actually do a lot in it now, graphics, scrolling text, lists, boxes, etc, etc.
Oh great ... More high-quality Palm applications
I think there is only one menstrual cycle program, so we definitely need some more of those.
RE: Oh great ... More high-quality Palm applications
Heh! I agree.
To make any real program it takes real programming skills. There is no such thing as point and click and out pops a worthwhile program.
$10 a month? Thats $120 a year which is more than many full blown development environments.. Plus you have to always have a net connection to use this??
If you need a simple development suite look into CASL, NS Basic or Pendragon Forms which all will run circles around this thing.
