TO ALL
Copied this from the SUNW thread, re a poster's comparison between CE vs Palm OS :
' And CE as an appliance OS? HA HA HA! Its power management sucks, its memory foot print is huge (compared to RIMM, Psion, and the Palm OS, and even the new small java VM's). The RIMM two-way pager runs WEEKS on a AA-cell...Hello! Even MSFT doesn't have enough cash to buy this victory. Did you see the bytecode demos of the Palm OS at JavaOne? CE is history within two years, MAX, in my opinion...as soon as HP and the other MSFT psycophants pull their heads out and see that it's like
trying to cut butter with a chainsaw. Companies like NOK, MOT, QCOM, and SUNW are gonna set the new protocols, and MSFT has done nothing to form alliances in those quarters. Bye, Bill. ' |
