I had a palm, it froze at least once a day with a stupid fatal error window, I lost all the content a few times because the is only a 30 seconds backup battery. loading apps take more time than on a PocketPC.
I had a Pocket PC (& Palmsize PC before PocketPC existed) and it NEVER freezes, it's a lot more stable than windows on a desktop, I also NEVER lost anything on it because it has a 5 year backup battery. I know there is more software for palm but most of it is very buggy "home-made" programs. PocketPC programs are much more powerful and stable.
Also I'm sure that you don't get 60 frames per second video at 65 536 colors with full stereo CD quality sound on a palm! That movie must be less than 10 frames per second on a palm with no (or horrible) sound.
What do you mean by "Pocket PC take up like half the space on your pda."? The PocketPC Windows OS is in ROM and uses no memory at all.
I remember when I had a palm, so view a simple image on it I had to:
1. Download a palm image viewer
2. Install it on the palm
3. Download a palm image converter
4. Convert image on desktop to palm format
5. Copy image to Palm
6. Open palm image viewer
7. Open image
On a PocketPC:
-Drag & drop image file to PocketPC
-Open image on PocketPC!
This applies to any file, not only images!
Plus on a PocketPC you can access any web site with javascript, java applet, flash support & more! Palm is limited to palm-only web sites and doesn't support any special features, not even simple javascript!
