Well, I know nothing about the Palm market, but I can say that PPC market expects a lot more for their money. Your puzzle games sell for $12.95 each. Games that take orders of magnitude more development time (both coding and art) sell for about the same on PPC.
For that cost you can buy a suite of puzzle games (7-8 games in all).
Your games do look highly polished and professional. However if your prices were halved (or at least under $10) I bet you would be making far more profit. Take a look at PDAmill's games if you want to see what sells and for what cost. $7.95 seems like a good price to me for your PPC titles. Of course if your Palm versions are selling good at the higher price then you'll want to keep them there. That's one problem of listing your titles all together - people may notice that the prices are different from one platform to another. However, considering they are completely different markets that is not unreasonable.
Regarding what Sponge was talking about, he's an editor at PocketGamer.com, and is quite into gaming on the PPC. For him to have not heard of it shows that you did not reach the online PPC community effectively.

Cross-platform development cheaper?
