RE: Hosted on Windows Only...
We are accepting emails in support of the Mac OS tools at two addresses: mwron@metrowerks.com and cw_suggestions@metrowerks.com. If you would like to see Mac OS hosted tools, please send mail.
Finally, from a personal perspective -- doing V9 was exhausting and exhilliarating, and me and my team were busy all the way through Monday when we sent our CDs off to manufacturing. If we had attempted to support both platforms with this release, we'd still be two months away from shipping, and Palm OS developers would be have that much longer to wait to get a version of our tools that supported ARMlet development. Yes, the decision to develop this for Windows first was a hard one, but I think it was the right choice for Metrowerks as a business, and for my developers as a team.

Entry level version
I am an example of a potential PalmOS developer. I have a dozen or more years experience working in software development (mostly large, Unix based systems). I have always been a tinkerer and a gadget lover, and the Zen of Palm is very appealing. What has stopped me, apart from the pressures of my day job, is the convoluted path to get started.
I tried downloading and installing the myriad of tools and libraries required by gcc, but my stamina in these respects is not what it was when I was 25.
What I would like is a graphical system, like CW, with sufficient get-started type docs, perhaps with limited features, but at an entry-level price.
You get me over the initial hump and I can almost guarantee you I'll fork over the upgrade fee to the full version in under six months.

Nice Christmas Present!
Switching to Codewarrior from Appforge
I ordered the upgrade of Codewarrior for the Palm and have decided to buckle down and learn C/C++ again. It's been a while. The deciding factor was the fact that the Mobile VB product which relies on it's Booster product no longer supports Palm OS 5 devices. That bothers me since someone pointed out to me that my apps would break. Whereas if I develop in C/C++ they'd be portable or at least I could recompile them after making changes. Any comments about this? Anyone run into this issue or problem? I guess the big factor is the dependancy of having the booster product for Mobile VB or not having it.
