But he was able to do it much sooner than we did it for Palm.

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. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
