TCH-Bruce Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Why Palm would go an do this is just insane. But from a corporate stand point I understand it. I don't like it, but I understand it. If you didn't know I am a Palm OS supporter. Maybe now that Access (Japanese company that makes the NetFront browser) has bought PalmSource they may turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmanmcp Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 If you didn't know I am a Palm OS supporter. Yeah Bruce, I remember that you're a programmer and you have written several apps for the palm and it probably brings you some income. Sorry about that...but its not my fault Maybe you can get the Windows CE SDK and start porting over what you have written. The current apps will be good for a couple years.

TCH-Bruce Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I know it's not your fault Bob. I've been following the story for a couple of weeks. When I saw the pre-release photos over a month ago I saw the writing on the wall. As for moving to the Windows platform, maybe. There has been a lot of talk among my fellow developers as to which tools to migrate too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Tim Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 As a user of the Palm Treo 650 I'm happy to see Palm try a different OS on their phones. The Palm of today is not the Palm we all fell in love with years ago. The software found on the Treo 600 and 650 is plagued with so many bugs it's not even funny, and trying to get help when the phone craps out is next to impossible. I'm no fan of Uncle Bill, but whatever he comes up with can't run any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I know it's not your fault Bob. Yes it is. Sheesh Bruce, you know Bob is the root of all that is bad in the computer world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
