Microsoft keeps making their developer kits require Win2K. Am I the only one locked out of development because of that? I use win4lin. My friend tells me that Microsoft is making big progress in getting industry adoption for their handhelds in places where they use dotnet in their enterprise. Something about being able to easily port the applications. OTOH the idea of phone "applications" is mostly where you push a button and a program retrieves/displays a hunk of information. Like the defunct Web Clipping Architecture. Any of these platforms can compete in doing that, so it comes down to hardware ubiquity. Microsoft's recent Voice Command announcement is interesting. I can totally see that working now. Doing some searches on Symbian show that a bunch of stuff is available for it as well.. actually there's some built-in API I believe. Ok, now I'm intrigued. Things like that don't seem to popup on PalmOS too often. -- /* Chris Faherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> */ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
