Palm-based devices use PalmOS. The OS architecture of PalmOS is very different from that of Windows, and a port would probably be more difficult than simply cross-compiling your WinCE code after modifying a few libraries. I have played with Pocket C in the past, and found it to be quite powerful; it might be wise to use the official Palm SDK for more complex operations like serial port I/O, although that necessitates finding a compiler to use with it.
