An acquaintance of mine from college runs a handheld music web site,
which pretty much focuses around both home-brew and some commercial
MIDI software and interfaces for Palms.  His handheld-music site is
locate at: http://www.crudites.org/soundventures/handheld-music/

In particular, his collective is responsible for:

http://www.crudites.org/soundventures/software/tractor/
http://www.crudites.org/soundventures/software/meedy/

which are both MIDI controller programs.

enjoy,
