Well, it depends what you wnat to develop?

Java?

C?
 
ROMS?


As for Java, try grabbing Eclipse from Eclipse.org and use that.  The main issue is staying inside the J2ME spec or adding the libs to your packages if need be.  But if it is 1.1 and j2me compatible, it should run on both.  

After that the big issue is IPKing the execuatble into an IPK....plenty of posts about IPKs, just take a quick look....there is even a great one that is a batch file under windows and does 99% of the work for you....search google for "IPK Hello World Zaurus" and it should come up (or some combination of those words).

I would imagine in the worse case you can run VNC and run your zaurus from your desktop.

development on linux is the best way. this way you can compile and debug on a desktop pc (runing linux). In most cases you even link against the QT 3.3 library as it backwards compatable with QT 2.3.
The only thing you have to worry about is calls to Qtopia for which there are two things you can do on the desktop

1) Sprinkel in a few #ifdef around your Qtopia calls
2) Compile and link to a Qtopia libray built on X86

I like the first aproach, for if you ever want to your app to run on the desktop, the work is done all ready.

You can use cygwin and arm-linux-gcc to compile
