Strange, very strange. Maybe it is matter of the perspective. (low level -
high level)

I am just watching a programmer who started with Symbian 2 months ago (with
PocketPC experience) and can't believe how fast is he progressing. He is
doing similar things as we did for Palm OS and is much-much faster. Yes, he
is sometimes complaining, that there are problems with the documentation
(but he is comparing against Microsoft SDK), debugging (Palm is certainly
better here) etc. Yet, the result is what counts.

I have similar evaluation from another independent programmer, but nothing
speaking against.
