Perhaps PocketPC might be easier to program, but difficult to use.
I would much rather have programmers (including myself) suffer and let the
users enjoy the simplicity--not the other way around.
I had a professor in college forced me to write a one-page paper on Plato.
Believe me I suffered through a couple of weeks on this. I thought it would
be a lot easier to write multiple pages to say what I want to say, but such
format forced me to think about what's essential and not essential. Also,
the final product looked a lot better as a result of my sufferings.
Also, one of the important things about Palm is backward compatibility, and
so far I have suffered minimum inconvenience for Palm, while I have stopped
using my own WinCE devices altogether.
