The reason why there is Pocket PC version of Thinker/ThinkerBoard is that WinCE is essentially Windows. Its a painless port for me. Years ago, I tried writing some PalmOS apps, but I just can't seem to develop a liking for it. Can you believe that in PalmOS, the maximum size of memory that you can allocate a time is 64K?! If you need more than that, you need to make multiple allocation requests! This is still true even with the latest version of PalmOS. Need 640K of hash? Then make 10 memory requests. And btw, its not exactly 64K. Its 64K - 1. Man, I thought the world has abandoned 16-bit pointers 20 years ago. Palm itself has embraced WinCE. http://news.com.com/Palm+does+Windows/2100-1041_3-5882674.html
