Re: Cobalt porting: No longer single prc for all OS versions

It is clear that the Palm is waffling about their own OS(s). Not a good message to developers who put up a lot over the years and just find the original processor choice was a mistake in OS 5 and not the choice of API is a mirage too in OS 6. The changes are evolutionary. OS 5 introduced ARM support in the back-end of the OS, only letting you use ARM by jumping through a big hoop called PACE Native Objects. OS 6 finally lets you write ARM native applications. Since they needed a new API and set of tools for this, PalmSource finally had the chance to clean up a lot of API decisions that had constrained the platform and confused developers. They also moved to a more modern windowing model that's needed to support multitasking. Remember, change is a constant. The original choice of the 68K for the original Pilot 1000/500 was a good choice when it was made in the mid-1990's. The processor was cheaper, used less power, and had good tools to support it. It enabled a whole class of devices; remember the big price difference between a Pilot 5000 and a Newton Messagepad -- that was in part due to CPU and memory costs. Moore's law means that you have to revisit some decisions, and it was clear by 2000 that ARM-based CPUs made sense going forward, both because of their improving performance and power profiles, and because they were becoming available from a lot of different suppliers. It's taken about five years for Palm OS to move from being a tiny, 68K-based OS designed to run four PIM applications to become a reasonably sized embedded OS with a variety of services. Think of this change as being similar to Microsoft going from Win16 (Windows 1.0 through 3.1) to Win32 (Windows 95, NT, onward). The new versions continued to run old 16-bit apps, but you needed to move to the new Win32 API and rebuild in order to use the new features and to make your apps more stable. The API is mostly the same between OS versions. Some minor things change -- you don't have card numbers anymore, you use different typedefs. Some major things change -- you need to support update-based windows, you can't hack into system internals. However, I'd urge you to read just the first few chapters of the Porting Apps to Cobalt PDF that's in the Cobalt docs. It will give you a better feel for just how much effort went into making this transition work and why PalmSource made the changes it did. -- Ben Combee, senior DTS engineer, PalmSource, Inc.

Jamie I agree that using a tool to make your life easier and your time to market faster is a good idea. However, I don't think you can compare a framework that wraps an operating system to an operating system (i.e CF .NET to PalmOS 6). It has been my experience, and I imagine yours too, that when a developer gets stumped on a problem (in any framework) and they don't understand the inner workings of the OS (or whatever is being wrapped), they struggle to come up with an acceptable solution. Situations like this lead to hacks and bugs and usually a break down in design. My original point is this. PalmOS, at an operating system level, is easier to understand than Windows (whether it be PPC or XP). Palm did a good job of keeping simple. Kudos to MS for their .NET framework. It makes things easier, but, it is not an excuse to not understand how the OS works. Trust me, I love the fact that I can bang out two million lines of code by writing 6 function calls in VB.NET!

Remind me which way we should do things? :-) Seriously, we have been quite open with information; I gave a sneak peek of Palm OS Cobalt multiple times, literally around the globe, describing the new infrastructure and what it'd mean for applications. And we have seeded the simulator and tools to hundreds of developers under NDA. It isn't appropriate for us to do everything in public, nor does it make sense to have every developer working with alpha releases simply because it'd be a waste of most people's time. What we do is a balance: we work with a smallish set of people far in advance under NDA, and we publicly release the information and simulator months in advance of the first device on shelves. And we simultaneously cater to more conservative sets by having PACE do a great job with compatibility so most well-behaved apps don't need to change at all. (As an aside: if an app fails on debug 5.x simulators, why be surprised that it fails on 6.x? We put those debug checks in for good reasons!) People who want earlier access have fairly obvious ways to do so: work closely with us, learn at our conferences about what's coming up (since we generally say it fairly clearly), contribute great bug reports and suggestions, write compelling and popular software, etc. Those are people we love to seed early. In other words, I'm very committed to getting developers what they need, when they need it, and I think we've been doing pretty well balancing the sometimes conflicting constraints. And I'm very open to your feedback. -David Fedor PalmSource, Inc. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

icon depth density poll
hello, I have kind of a poll question about icons. We currently support 6 combinations of bit depth and density for our icons. All possible combinations of bit depths 1, 2 and 8 and densities 72 and 144. This seems kind of overkill to me, so I'm wondering which combos are most common and which are relatively uncommon and probably ok to drop. We definitely want 1 bit color 72 and 8 bit double density.

Re: Cobalt porting: No longer single prc for all OS versions
Okay I can agree with that. And your right, the Palm is much easier to program then the PPC using eVC (or whatever it is called). Palm has done a great job of maintaining consistent API's across the different devices. I would consider Frameworks like .Net or JVM an OS from the developers point of view. It is basically a different set of API's that you need to program for, different from the underlying OS. Thanks for the feed back. Jamie Brad Figler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] But in my line of work, who cares if meet some ideal of expert? I need to develop solutions, not impress my users with my OS knowledge. I can get down and dirty with the best of them, but I prefer to have the development tool/environment do it for me. Anyways the .Net Framework is basically just another OS you program for, the same way you program for the JVM. You need to understand it to develop quality applications for it. Jamie I agree that using a tool to make your life easier and your time to market faster is a good idea. However, I don't think you can compare a framework that wraps an operating system to an operating system (i.e CF .NET to PalmOS 6). It has been my experience, and I imagine yours too, that when a developer gets stumped on a problem (in any framework) and they don't understand the inner workings of the OS (or whatever is being wrapped), they struggle to come up with an acceptable solution. Situations like this lead to hacks and bugs and usually a break down in design. My original point is this. PalmOS, at an operating system level, is easier to understand than Windows (whether it be PPC or XP). Palm did a good job of keeping simple. Kudos to MS for their .NET framework. It makes things easier, but, it is not an excuse to not understand how the OS works. Trust me, I love the fact that I can bang out two million lines of code by writing 6 function calls in VB.NET!

And I bet a surprisingly large amount of code can in fact be shared, given judicious #includes of compatibility headers. (Much of this discussion is centered around it looks like it'll be hard impressions which can only be disproved by actually trying.) But for example, the reason we had to add the DmRef parameter to FrmGotoForm, DmGetResource, etc. goes way beyond that. If the programming model assumes a single threaded system (as it did on 5.x and prior) then you can have, in effect, a global variable which is the linked list of open databases. But as soon as you support threading, where one thread can suddenly open another resource database and thus change the result of another thread's DmGetResource call... well, that's not something that checking features can get around. Let's stop talking about 100% solutions, since that's basically trolling :-) We did a heck of a lot of work to keep things unchanged when possible, and the changes we made were done for specific reasons which were judged to outweigh the inconveniences. -David Fedor PalmSource, Inc. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
