Also, it shouldn't take any "effort" to make something stable. You're a user of the device. It should be stable by default. If it isn't, its broken. Find another vendor.

How are PPCs "less functional" than PalmOS PDAs? I've argued in the past that PPCs are "less intuitive" (usually lessened with time +/- utilities like WisBar) and "less stable" (now debatable) than PalmOS PDAs, but even I would have difficulty saying a $400 Dell X50v is "less functional" than a $400 Tungsten 5. Unless the PPC UI rendered these devices completely unuseable (it doesn't), functionality ends up being based significantly on included features. And in terms of features, Palm is - to put it mildly - simply not competitive. Not even close. Dual CF/SD expansion, dual Wi-Fi/Bluetooth wireless, user-replaceable batteries, VGA screen... these are specs that make PDAs "more functional". Solly Cholly.
