The only reason Royal is putting Linux on the DaVinci is because their current OS was ripped off from Palm, so now they have nothing. They're probably hoping that a bunch of Linux coders will work together to make that piece of crap PDA into something halfway usable. --------- James Hromadka
I am sitting here at my desk in Houston and everything is hunky-dory. Only bummer is that my building wasn't high enough to see the fireworks from downtown. We didn't even sit at our desks when the rollover happened. I think that once people saw that the ROW was ok, things became a big yawn. --------- James Hromadka
The color Palms have to come out to take away the one edge that WinCE has over the Palm OS -- color. The average consumer that goes to a store will look at the color WinCE, then the Palm, and think the WinCE device is "prettier."
Besides, it's a natural progression. B&W > Grayscale > Color. Do you really need that 17" monitor for email and word processing? Of course not. It is the same thing as that color printer commercial that shows two identical proposals -- one in B/W and another in color. Which is going to catch your eye?
I am waiting for Dolphin also, but I have always been a Nintendo person out of preference. The Dolphin will be slightly more powerful than the PSX2, and will have inter-connectivity with the GameBoy Advance.
