But he was able to do it much sooner than we did it for Palm. (Whereby he is
no exceptional programmer.)

That's what I meant when talking about high vs. low level. I can imagine
that game writers must be embarassed by Symbian. But majority of the
programmers writes different types of apps. (Just returned from Microsoft
DevDays, where I attended from nostalgy - it's like they are hopping into
airplanes while we stil use bicykle. Talking about LongHorn - I know, it's a
different subject.)

By the way, I am still curious about the speed comparison to Palm. We'll do
it, but later.
