"Who came up with the idea that Microsoft was the one size fits all solution for every operating system need? There are much better OSes for embedded systems and PDAs.... PalmOS and VMware come to mind..."
I have a Zaurus and have owned WinCE devices in the past as well. For a first commercial release I think the Zaurus is well done. WinCE and PocketPC sucked pretty bad early in their lifetimes, so I think the Qt/Embedded will improve with age. It will probably also improve rather rapidly with the gaggle of open source developers that will add apps and enhancements on their own schedule compared to the 2-3 years that it took Microsoft to make PocketPC usable.
I wonder how long it will take them to re-implement the site as.asp? So now that they are on IIS, I wonder what servlet/jsp engine they are using? Anyone know how to tell?

I know it isn't exactly the same thing, but one can hope can't we?
