Yes, and another benefit for CESD to his approach is that now he has a built-in initial market for Pimlical in Datebk6 users. That, I think, is why he decided to develop on Windows first. I am, as you can imagine, very happy that he did. But of course once he gets Pimlical developed he is going to port to other platforms. I think the Blackberry may be his first target, but he also has a core of Mac users in the group, and he probably will port there as well. At this time the iPhone is not on the list, as I understand it, but of course that could change. I think you might have a good market for a full featured Windows version of Shadow in your base of Palm users. And definitely if the Blackberry lacks a good outliner you should look at going there. It is a big potential market. I don't know how welcoming Blackberry is of third party developers, however.

Thats the rub, and something that has always haunted me. ie: CESD dodged it.. he did Palm-side only, and now is moving to purely Desktop side. Whereas I went for the full thing.. handheld, sync conduit and desktop.. twice the development/ maintenance/ support. Nowadays its a similar gambit.. desktop + web. Supporting multiple environments is a tough thing to do. (Course, one idea is to make it all a 'web app', and then the local version can just be a hidden local webserver that only works for your app. ie: Google Gears and so on is one way, but there are others. So thats a possibility as well..) jeff -- If everyone would put barbecue sauce on their food, there would be no war. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
