NS Basic Programming Language for PDAs

If you're familiar with Basic Programming Language then you're ready to program for the PDA. 

NS Basic Programming Language

NS Basic comes in 3 flavors, Palm, Pocket PC, and Newton OS.  What I really like is the beautiful Visual IDE that comes with NS Basic, making programming a pleasure.  Even if you've never programmed before, the Basic Language is one of the easiest to learn but still packed with a lot of power.  One of the biggest advantages NS Basic is price.  As of the writing, you can get NS Basic for as low as $149 for one OS or $249 for both Palm and Pocket PC.  Not bad when, you consider Appforge(a fine program itself), which does basically the same thing as NS Basic, costs $899 plus you need Microsoft Visual Basic at an additional cost.   If you want a great, powerful, low cost tool to program for the PDA, check this development tool out.
