Ah, the rosy memories of Palm

I am an ex-Palm programmer. It's been years, but I loved the whole programming culture that Palm had created. I loved their UI design philosophies, their hardware, the conventions, the fantastic API support, I loved it all. I was a Palm freak. Then not too long after the IPO'd, it got kinda sad there at Palm, it seems. There was no more love being pumped into their wonderful products. The kool-aid had gone sour for me (that, and the project I was working on that I so adored got cancelled), so I bailed out and found other new-fangled toys to play with (which was never quite as enjoyable). But here, now, many years later, Apple has restored my faith in the idea that you can indeed have an exquisite, easy to use interface on a handheld device. And more importantly you can provide excellent developer support at the same time. Or at least that's how it seems to me for now... I reserve the right to be cynical. I've eaten from the Cupertino tree many times in the past; not all its fruit are sweet and delicious.
