I know what my options are... Just making my opinion known with the
knowledge that EHand monitors this space. Still, the pricing is a little
weird for this kind of product. Lets say three programmers use EHand to
write their conduits. Each programmer sells a copy of their shareware to the
same customer. Each programmer is going to pay for the right to distribute a
copy of the EHand Connect .dll to that same customer. The customer only
needs one copy of the .dll. Why pay for three?? Ultimately it is the
customer who bears the brunt of this. Gotcha! Anyway, you are right, the
market will decide. There is a saying... people vote with their feet :-)

hehe :)
swedish company = swedish taxes :) however, i think the solution is
simple.. if you dont want to pay.. dont use it :)) find another
alternative. there are some. maybe not exactly the same, but.. you
can still do something :)
however, i agree - the licensing system being used is very high
(pricy) and it just isn't an option, especially when palm apps
cost around $20 each.
