Java for PPC?

I've spent the past several days doing nothing but reading i'net sites
on java, ordering books and more reading...  Unfortunately, I'm don't
feel much further along than I was when I started...

I'm trying to port (well, rewrite) a program I wrote for a handheld
computer (written in 16bit C 1.5) several years ago.  The users now
want a more up to date system - including pocket pc's and/or palms.

I want to write an application once, and be able to run it on Palm or
PocketPC - but for the test, we chose PocketPC.

I've read about J2SE and J2EE - but I'm still confused as to whether
it will actually work or not.

Too, I still haven't figured out what I need to do to start
programming a simple hello world appl.

ANYTHING you can give me to help get me on the road again would be
greatly appreciated.  Book recommendations?  Web sites?  Reply with an
answer to what do I really need to download, install and run to get a
simple app written and running on my WinCE device.   anything would be
helpful and appreciated at this point!!

Thanks a ton!

For a machine of that size you must shoehorn into J2ME.
