keep in mind this only works if EvtGetEvent() is called repetitively.
unless of course you add nilEvents to your event queue - which may
then be mis-interpreted by the application being "clobbered".
not to mention slow down the device dramatically.

160x160 is constraining enough i think :)
making an app 160x144 (as is done in FoodSource 2000) may annoy more
users than you may expect. just look at all the posts complaining
about screens being ONLY 160x160 :) - any site like www.palmstation.com
will bring this up every now and then.
adware.. interesting concept - however, i doubt it will provide
enough income to suppliment existing shareware systems. there are
many more ways to deal with "advertising", in a way the users dont
feel "imposed".
just take a look at portagrinch:
http://www.eruptor.com/portapets/index.html
free application.. people love it.. and.. development was probably
funded by the movie makers themselves.. now.. thats a nice chunk of
cash - how much will this "adware" pay? i remember talking to
Ori (CEO of PalmRev) at PalmSource 2000 - but no figures were
brought forward in any discussion.
lets not mention another company with similar goals.. a swedish
company (Wexxa) is devising another system.. unfortunately, they
dont have a website available right now.
cheers
