This is exactly what I was writing about a couple weeks ago. I don't want
to come off as "anti-Palm" because that would be a completely incorrect
characterization of my views. But as a developer, if you compromise your
own app, and compromise YOUR users' experience, because of some rule,
whether it be arbitrary or completely rational, this is probably a
mistake. Of course whether you ARE compromising your app is something
only you and your users can judge. But if your software is hard to use,
or doesn't seem "right" to the user, it seems to me unlikely that the
user's response will be "well, I don't like the way it works, but after
all, it's certified."
Needless to say, an order for 10,000 copies contingent on the app being
certified would cause me to abandon my principles in one EvtGetEvent()...
