Poser often needs to wake up the device in order to mess around with it a
little. Inserting pen events is one example of this. And when Poser does this,
the result is that a nil event shows up in the application.
While the difference can be awkward at times for developers, I sort of view it
as a good thing. Applications should be written not assuming that (a) nil
events will show up only after the specified timeout period or (b) within the
specified timeout period. So Poser helps again in the development of more
robust Palm applications!
