But it must be kept in mind that better applications only benefit the user if they come without the burden of a less stable OS. The net benefit to the end user is not clear when comparing the integrated whole application+OS.
In reference to BobR's original discourse, I''ve found that for my use the Sony applets added to PalmOS5 in the UX series provide all of the application switching "fixes" that I need, particularily the CTRL-Num app launching functions. That is, providing my applications successfully "remember" where I left off. I use MobiPocket as my common eBook reader and it does a good job as do the majority of the applications and PIM applets that I use on a daily basis.
