You forget something extremely important, as does most people when they talk about the Palm Pilot. There's a group of 10K software programers programming for the Palm OS. All types who believe in the new OS. This means that there will be a tremendous number of applications for the PP, one of the most important considerations. MSFT Windows CE won't have nearly the breadth of applications to run. MSFT has it on their Win 98 and other products, which is what gives them great success of control over the OS on the PC desktop, but certainly not on the Palm top sector. All MSFT has is a big name and a lot of cash. But everyday the PP is 5 steps ahead for every one that Win CE moves forward. Does MSFT have anything even close to this type of software army?
