> Perhaps PocketPC might be easier to program, but difficult to use.

I half-heartily agree with the first part of this statement. Two of my
customers, one is deploying on PPC, the other on Palm OS.  The PPC project
is months from deploying because of lack of 3rd party components and
half-completed MS technologies. The Palm OS project has barely begun and is
expected to be deployed in the next 4 weeks.  While the PPC has better C/C++
RAD tools, the backend support is immature.  Generally, once you're done
with the main app, Palm has PPC beat hands down for total system
integration, for now.
The second part of the statement I completely agree with.  PPC may be
feature rich but Palm is just plain easier to use and has a lower total cost
of ownership (as per my own findings).  I deal with few tech-savvy
customers, PPC is too difficult for them to learn and use.  Palm is correct
for adding features to the OS as long as they maintain ease of use.  BTW:
haven't sold a single color Palm yet.
