I don't know much at all about the Palm or programming for them, but
FWIW I recalled questions about OS 5 on the pgp-users list a while
back. Will Price, a long-time developer of PGP, answered someone this
way in June of 2003:

In some respects, we are just as frustrated as you may be. If I may be
quite frank, Palm OS 5 was a hack job not ready for prime time. If we
felt that some amount of maintenance work would quickly clean up issues
with different Palm OS 5 devices, we would engage the effort.
I look forward to Palm OS 6. Palm OS 5 appears to be a halfway step
down the transition road towards Palm OS 6 later this year which will
(finally!) bring full support for the new processor types allowing
acceptable speeds for all the key sizes and one hopes fix the API
issues which prevent some of the features of PGP on Palm OS 4.X from
working properly on Palm OS 5. It is my hope that a major new release
of PGP Mobile will be ready for that OS and others.
