Laurens,
I'm sad to see the negative signs in the PalmOS market also. And I agree with you that I hope for the future to be brighter than it looks. We're nowhere near the end, even in the bleakest scenario, but it doesn't look good. I am converted to PPC now because of all that, but it's a shame because I think PalmOS is actually better. It's not too late for a turnaround, and I'm cheering for big success for Palm companies (even as I bemoan the status quo in the Palm world.)
BUT.... the selfish part of me is ecstatic about the news that you are going to work on a WindowsCE version of the viewer. Yippee!!!! Sunrise was one of the things that I was sad about leaving behind with the move to PPC. I hadn't even tried it yet, but boy does it look great. I'm looking forward to seeing it. In fact, even those with PPC devices should cheer for Palm's success because the competition improves PDAs and smart phones all around across every platform. Time will tell.
In the meantime, hopefully we'll find out that Mercedes is right and PalmOS Cobalt devices will pop up and grow and that market share will strengthen and the signs will turn positive. The original success of Palm was more spectacular than a simple turnaround. Why not?!
