These comparisons between Palm and Apple fail to include one very important detail: Apple was NEVER the dominant platform. At its zenith, Apple had less than 15-20% of the PC market. PalmOS, on the other hand, has a commanding lead with well over 80% of the handheld market. If anything, Pocket PC has more in common with the plight of the Mac than PalmOS.
Another area where I have to disagree with Jorgen's assessment is that Pocket PC isn't really stealing much marketshare from PalmOS at all. Palm has much more to fear from Sony than Microsoft.
