Palm OS Programmer's Companion is part of the Palm OS Software Development Kit. Like most programmers, you have probably written a desktop application - an application that is run on a desktop computer such as a PC or a Macintosh computer. Writing applications for handhelds, specifically Palm Powered handhelds, is a bit different from writing desktop applications because the Palm Powered handheld is designed differently than a desktop computer. In addition, users simply interact with the handheld differently than they do desktop computers. This paper describes how these differences affect the design of a Palm OS application.
