Now it is Linux that is growing and Palm Garnet that is basically dead.
This will be an incentive to all those Palm developers to go ahead and port their apps to us when they see them running on the 810.
Actually, at that time OS/2 was brand spankin new and there was quite a bit of user interest and excitement about it. I'm talking early 90s here, OS/2 2.0 was just out and a year or so later, OS/2 Warp (3.0) was introduced. Ancient history true, but history does repeat itself.

As far as Linux growing, that's quite true, but how many developers are doing Hildonized apps?
