Re: palm vs ppc
Actually there are alot of settings on PalmOS that power users can learn to use and alot of third party apps provide hacking utility to satisfy any geeky lust. zLauncher for example, is the best launcher ever on any platforms with so much power in it that it probably deserves to be licensed as a separate GUI for other platforms.
Its a bit mad to say that PalmOS users are 'low' and PPC users are intelligent because they go the extra mile to learn how to operate the device. It proves that PalmOS = easy, PPC = complicated
However seeing the situation in palminfocenter where every little faults are whined about is quite depressing of late.
On PPC, a developer will usually come in discuss the problems with users and try to come up with a solution but on most PalmOS community its just whine whine whine... until palmOne has to come out and give out free 128Mb cards.
Its like giving a toy to a toddler to shut them. I can't fault them since many PalmOS power users act like babies. They demanded higher processing power, when it came they complained about the battery life. Palm tried to improve the battery like by releasing a ROM based PDA, and they complain. You just can't win with some of these people.
