Very valid point. We aware of this. But VHS versus BetaMax was more a fight about technologies. And the licensing terms made all the difference at the end, even for an inferior product. The technology battle is another, yet linked, battle than the fight for the consumer's hearts and minds.

With Palm coming out with the Web OS, the choice for developers has just become again more fragmented, but Linux as a choice has been again strengthened.
