You're right hacker!
This problem goes even farther. Take a look at the PC: you have a gigantic open-source community producing quality applications that can easily compete with commercial products. Now take a look at PalmOS: Pluckr is probably the most famous open-source product for PalmOS. But is there beside Plucker? Perhaps one or two other apps, but the percentage is very low. Why? For the same reason why there is relatively little open-source available for Windows OS. PalmOS should be open-source; or even better, the next palmOne devices should run on a Linux derivate. Then, I am convinced, we would see much better applications than petty SnapperMail, iambic or whatever their names are, and for a price a lot cheaper!
