That's what Brighthand does, and I don't think it would work here.

The question I put to you is this: why should I run a web site for Palm enthusiasts? They have their own sites, their own community, etc.

Why would I want to do such a thing? :?

I agree with much of what you said, but you're not accurite with this statement. The Pocket PC shipped in April 2000, and the 2002 devices launched in October 2001.

The Pocket PC is 18 months old, so I consider it quite "young" still.

But IMO, theyll need more than just OS5 to achieve this, at least in terms of the hardware itself. My understanding is that OS5`s GUI is no different than what it is now. All the changes are just under the hood, so to speak. Awfully boring if you ask me. Under the hood changes alone would be fine any other time, but Palm is overdue for some sort of a GUI update.

I wonder just how Palm decides to count their "hundreds of thousands" of developers for version 5 of their OS.

Just for kicks, I registered my cat (yes, my cat!!) as a Palm developer last year. Funny thing is that she still is registered after all this time.

I can see the advertisements now.... 8)

They're probably doing the same thing every other marketing group does - reporting downloads or registrations as users/developers/supporters. :roll:

The only reason I'm suggesting it is that there are a heck of a lot of people from other technologies (not only Palm users) who visit here regularly and I thought that since you have such a large audience, why not capitalise on it? Just a thought mind, not a judgement ops: !

Your mention of another web site, that does just this, does have a point and maybe things are better as they are.

I was just mindful of the arguments that I and others get entangled in when there seems to be a mentality of "you either love Microsoft and want to sell your soul to them or you hate them and think that everything they do is pants". Often, discussions move in crazy ways as people are forced to fight their corner. There are those, among whom I number myself, who think that PPC is a good device. The problem is that this is not good enough for some others here who think that Microsoft saved humanity and anybody who doesn't support PPC is a wrecker.

Anyway, I'm going on again! The site is fine as it is, it was only a suggestion
