Programming ON the Palm itself, or in those languages targeted TO the Palm?

Excellent Basic compiler:
NSBasic (I'm using it now) work on your PC, sync onto your Palm:
http://www.nsbasic.com/palm/info/ide.html

Also CASL, sort of a Pascal/Basic hybred. PC -> Palm again:
http://www.caslsoft.com/
(Full disclosure: I did some work for the CASL folks)

I've used both of the above.

There's a Pascal that you work on your Palm itself:

I haven't used this one.

The Zire 71 has a 640 X 480 camera (I've got one of these) and the newer Zire 72
has a higher resolution (don't recall what, offhand) camera and will take movies
as well, if I'm recalling correctly.

Do you mean "lasts a long time" ? The Palms traditionally gain long battery
life by shutting down when not in use. If used continuously they run a few
hours at best. I drained my '71 from full to about 1/2 in about two hours
listening to MP3's with it almost continuously, for example.

Again, what do you mean by "autonomous"? There are ways to supply power
externally.

Zire 72 has a camera, but I doubt there are compilers for Pascal or Basic. I
know it can run Java apps.

Hi Alan,

Actually there are compiler both for Pascal and BASIC.

Pascal Compiler at; http://pages.total.net/~hkonstas/pp.html

BASIC Compiler at; http://www.aldweb.com/articles.php?lng=en&pg=5350

I have been playing with iziBASIC for a while now and it is maturing
very rapidly. I would strongly recommend it to people who want to do
BASIC programming on their Palm (it does support OS5).

Freeware Pascal compiler: http://ppcompiler.free.fr/?lng=en

Comes with an integrated development environment, seems to work very
well, and there's quite a lot of support for it on the web.

There are also various Basic interpreters.
