PDA's

PDA's

[ps42]

  I'm looking for a pda that i can programme. So i can basically put my own
buttons and informtion on.

Any information on a PDA that does that, or a specific software and pda
that i can use, would be great.

Thanks

As far as programmable PDAs goes, There's more than one model.  I've found 
some programming language or another on pretty much all of Palm's series of 
PDAs.  I have a PSION REVO+ which I happen to like alot because of it's 
layout and that one is programmable as well in OPL (a somewhat BASIC like 
language) C++ and Java and of course Assembler.

For palm: http://mobile.eric-poncet.com/palm/tutorial.html

For PSION PDAs you can go to the Symbian OS website 
http://www.symbian.com/developer/

The good think about a Symbian OS machine, is that Ada can be compiled to 
Java bytecode and Symbian can/does run Java.

My 2cents ;-)

Do you have a step-by-step doc to do that ? I have a P900 and like to program
it in Ada. The JGNAT is ok for me, but I have never installed a JVM into a
Symbian device. I know that there is some information on the Sony Ericsson Web
site but this is far from being a step-by-step approach!

Thanks,
Pascal.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Pascal.

Ada to J-code to Palm OS has also been done.

Besides JGNAT, which works well on most PDA's (the trick is to get a JVM :-)
there now is MGNAT for PDA's as well. There will be a tutorial by Martin
Carlisle in the next SigAda conference in Atlanta.

I have already successfully ported (well copied and compiled :-) some
applications on the iPAQ. It integrates even into the Visual Studio .Net so
you can debug the Ada code as well on the emulated PDA.
For this, MGNAT generates debug info into the .IL files

There should be an official release soon
