Clearly, Yes - hence the constant complaints about Palm's failure to
upgrade the OS. Many users, myself included, have needs we wish we could
fill. Maybe there is a limit. It just seems a shame with all the
software being created for Palm-based OS, and all the users who are
keeping the software developers in business by buying and using the
applications, maybe the OS developer would take the hint from Microsoft
and create a new version of the OS that takes advantage of the progress
being made in the other areas.
My 680 is super stable out of the box. I have to be very careful about
what I add on, and how I use it or I start getting into endless loops of
reboots.
On the other hand, parts of my work experience since the early 70s has
been on the cutting, and sometimes bleeding, edge of the user/developer
interface, so I'm pretty used to the finger pointing. Apple may have a
partial, if not temporary, handle on that by closely guarding the gate,
pre-approving software and allowing it only to be purchased and
installed through the iPhone pipeline.
I don't care for the restrictiveness of that approach. I'd much rather
be free to experiment - that's really how innovation happens. And if
innovation exceeds one manufacturer's ability or desire to keep up -- so
be it.
