optimization is easy from an arm chair. Fact 1. Palm OS has the largest market share. PERIOD. Fact 2. Palm OS is the smallest and lowest power code. PERIOD. Fact 3. It was easy and cheap to integrate and provided ENOUGH functionality to meet the market demands. Food for thought..Why do people keep believing the usoft brainwash taht you need all that OS and "power" to do something? DOS still runs under windows and when you write an APP which is down at teh DOS level, it runs 10 times faster than in windows, it runs with alot less memory than windows. So, if your going to pay alot of dollars to build a consumer item and carry alot of baggage for a battery, which one do you go with? the less elegant solution which makes product sense, or the markting hype buzz word which makes no sense at all? Suggest that you read the WAP spec. It is yet another HDML spec written by Phone.com and cleverly given to the WAP forum to be implemented by anyone (does Java ring a bell here?).
