Re: Re: Shadow Alterntive - Redux.

Well, that is a thing I don't understand. I am a brazilian and aroud here it hit the news, last july, that Apple was doing something exeptionaly inovative, wich whas to sell third-party programs for IPhone. Came on! Palm was doing that more than ten years ago! These IPhone programs are a joke when you compare them to Palm, but still...
And Palm smartphones runing Windows...
Where are they aiming at? Oblivion, it seems.

  You're not really wrong, but you're not really right, either. I'll let others respond more authoritatively.

  Codejedi could have been much more than it is, but suffered, as we all did - both developers and users, from a market shifting under our feet. Palm, had it continued in the rate of growth and popularity it did, well, let's just say we'd be living in a very different world today. Blackberry, let alone Apple, would be very minor players.

  Since that didn't happen, and people need real jobs to pay the rent, development emphasis, and Palm popularity, have significantly declined. Sadly.

  What *really* *BUGS* me ... is the paradigm's behind ShadowPlan, let alone Palm, are so incredibly 'brilliant', yet their 'paradigms' have not successfully saturated daily life to the same extent as has, say, Blackberries.

  Sadly. <mournful, sad, shaking of head>
