Sam, Here's a better link to a Palm Pilot book and software developer's software guide. palmpilot.oreilly.com I've got to go back and review what the "open software" means exactly. I know that even though Microsoft allows its Win98 source code available to the public, there aren't many hackers that will write usefull code for it the way they do for Linux and the Palm Pilot. Only, professional programmers write for the Win98. I'm assuming that Palm Pilot OS has a similar structure to the LINUX OS as to how people can handle the code. Software developers are motivated to write all kinds of programs for these two OSs just as a hobby. It's good because there's a lot more creativity, and lots of people can test the OS and get rid of the bugs quicker. That's one of the problems with Win98. Since only the creaters of it (MSFT) handle it, it's hard to find all the bugs...and MSFT has a reputation for coming out with buggy software.
