Not competely trivial, but it is a recurring theme, for sure.
First, here is an input file that should actually work:

   \usetypescript[adobekb][8r,ec]
   \usetypescript[palatino][ec]
   \switchtobodyfont[palatino,11pt]
   \starttext
   Hello world
   \stoptext

The problem with your input is that you have to specify
an encoding (or a set of encodings) to \usetypescript. That's what
the extra "[ec]" is for on the second line of my example.

The other problem is that you do not have palatino
installed in way that is usable by a default ConTeXt
installation. For palatino to work, you have three
options :

   a. install the font family using texfont
   b. download cont-fnt.zip from the pragma site
   c. load the latex psnfss compatibity typescripts (as above)

More on this is on the Wiki,

Cheers, Taco
