Might I suggest you take a look at the posting 
history of Joe Malone in this forum:

http://escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/index.html?by=Author&a=Joe%20Malone

I think a reasonable person would find that
Joe has contributed significantly to this group,
much more so than the posts of "js3guj" that I can
find in the archives.   Makes me wonder who the
troll is.

I think Joe made a good point: the Palm Economy and
Palm(Source)'s marketing is (was?) all about
flexibility, 3rd party apps, hundreds of thousands
of developers, openness, etc. etc.  I, too, find it
rather strange for Handspring to come along and
make a blanket statement like the one they apparently
made.  I wish they'd spend their efforts on finding
a real solution to the battery life problems of some
of their devices (why did they stick 16 meg of RAM
into the Treos if they don't want me to run 3rd party
apps).

I very much doubt that any of my applications,
when 'just installed', will have any noticable
impact on the battery life of a PalmOS device.  If
you truly think that the fact that the launcher has 
to  display an icon for it is going to have a 
measurable effect, I think you should go and do 
some scientific measurements and present us with 
the results.
