thanks for reading.

if he just wants a smart-phone + PIM then maybe he needs a feature-phone (not a computer), and he doesn't need third-party apps.

third-party apps is what iphone and adroid are all about: the app store and all (that's how they're advertised too).

That customer is better of with a smaller battery (lighter) that lasts longer (inefficient application framework eats battery).

easy development (java / python) is a good thing for a framework to give, that it shouldn't be the only thing it gives, that limits the potential of the platform...
...damn. i'm not gonna repeat the whole thing...
