In a previous article, Jose said:

Palm is a horrible operating system for these types of operations.

What is it about "these types of operations" that makes Palm horrible
for them (presumably without making it horrible for other stuff?)


The biggest problem with Palm OS is that it's single tasking - it can't be
doing much of anything in the background. They are in the process of
converting Palm OS into a shell running on a Linux kernel that will fix
that problem, and personally I can't wait.

It's too late. I've had Palm. I've had three versions of Microsoft
Mobile including the latest on my Motorola Q. Palm was OK on the Treo
when I had it but is far surpassed by Win Mobile 5. Hard to see how
Palm is going to get me back.
