	More to point, Palm OS UI is very different than what iWhatever 
people would expect, and even more pointedly.. stylus apps are used to 
high resolution of touchscreen, whereas a finger touch oriented UI cannot 
be. (ie: A finger is fat, while a stylus is highly precise. Also, PDAs 
tend ot have other navigation options.. page up/down, 5-way, etc.) So UIs 
need to be totally redone usually...

	Right now theres nothing in that category for iphone, and certain 
Shadow is not all that buggy (a few for sure, but 99% of Shadow users 
never ran into any bugs.)

	Anyway, if you think I'm fool enough that it never occured to me 
about the UI design and riding on StyleTap and so on and so forth, you're 
missing something ;) Don't forget how long I've been in (and pioneering 
in) the handheld space :) Frankly, I thought the Omni guys would've been 
all over this already, since they've got a long Mac OSX history (and being 
bundled with the OS and such)..
