PocketStudio by Winsoft is an IDE supporting rapid application development (RAD) for Palm OS and related operating systems like Garnet OS or Access Linux Platform. In some regard similar to Delphi and Lazarus, it has a visual form designer, an object inspector and a source code editor.

Distinguishing features

PocketStudio's programming language is a subset of Pascal that has been adapted to the needs of Palm OS development. The compiler generates native code targeting the Motorola MC68000 family microprocessor.

For debugging, the Palm OS emulator POSE is embedded. As an alternative, the Garnet OS simulator can be used. PocketStudio integrates wireless development including Bluetooth technologies. Other features are a project manager, code templates, inline assembler support and code examples.

The IDE runs on Windows and generates PRC files for being transferred to handhelds via HotSync or for distribution via internet or storage media.
