Take maximum advantage of the Palm architecture, including the new Palm OS 5.0 devices, with this easy-to-use program for new and experienced developers alike. NS Basic/Palm provides a rapid application development. NS Basic/Palm is based on the language and development environment that Visual Basic programmers are used to, but optimized for the Palm OS environment. It's quickly usable by Visual Basic programmers with little or no introduction.

A powerful feature of NS Basic/Palm is its ability to call standard Palm OS Shared Libraries. These work much like controls do on a Windows desktop, adding features to the core NS Basic products. Since they can be made using standard development tools such as CodeWarrior and PilRC, it's easy for third parties and users to extend the functionality of the language.

Programs in NS Basic for Palm can be any size - there is no 64K limit. Communications is strong: serial, IR, Tcp/IP, IRDA and Bluetooth are all usable. Applications can be complied with the runtime to create a single executable. This makes distributing NS Basic apps easy. There is full support for double byte languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew and Greek. Documentation and support are available in English, Japanese and German.

NS Basic/Palm works on all devices using Palm OS 3.1 or newer, including the hot new Palm Tungsten and Sony NX units. It also supports Handspring (including the Treo), Handera, Samsung, Kyocera and others.

Last, but not least, the standard version of NS Basic/Palm has more power than the 'professional' version of other products - at a price that is affordable to all. And no other software is required to run NS Basic/Palm.
