I use a T|C, but haven't noticed anything especially slow about the browser. Any delays, I attributed to the speed of the connection. Anyone knows how fast it's rated? Wireless cards in notebook computers advertise 11Mbps, but reality has it averaging 5Mbps.
As for stability, I doubt apps for PocketPC are any more complex than what's available for the Palm. That is, most PocketPC apps are probably simple forms and simple games as well. Given that constant, Palm has greater stability. Finally, I find debugging for Palm with it's simulator, emulator, and gremlins excellent. Yes, there are occasional lockups and resets, but I can get my work done with those tools. I haven't worked with PocketPC devices... is debugging on it really that much easier? --Mike Y.

Compared to all the Palm development tools, it's miles away. I prefer VC over Codewarrior. Once you get used to Codewarrior, there's not much difference until it's time to debug. Palm devices WERE cheaper. Usually, the enterprise is not too concerned with an extra $100 if the tool does the job. I have in my office, the Palm Tungstens. They're $500 with ARM processors. Check the Tungsten C with Wi-Fi (by far their best device) out and try to run a web browser on it. This has a very fast ARM processor, yet the browser is dog slow. If you've done a lot of communication work and understand the Palm OS, you'll immediately know why it's dog slow. Somethings, Palm are decent for. Somethings, they're a no-show. As for stability, I'd argue there are no stability advantages with Palm. You don't find many crashes on Palm simply because most Palm apps are simple games and form applications. It's easier to debug on WinCE. Palm OS 6 is meant to address the shortcomings in communication and programming model issues. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
