Well, certainly a larger diversity of applications increases the user's amount of choice which I fail to see as a negative. Each person has their own tastes and preferences. Variety is the spice of life as they say. Yet, I appreciate your point as quality is the aim not quantity necessarily.
My goal is to avoid any unnecessary dollars into MS as possible. Voting with my wallet means compromising my goal. The only other alternatives are the Zaurus or another means like an iPod/PSP/etc. I like the iPod (have one) but miss the input methods and the same goes for the PSP. The Zaurus is too small of a niche market. I just had Sony replace the battery in my Clie (just got the call from the repair depot a few minutes ago). But don't anticipate the Sony/Palm batteries being in stock a year or two from now.
So, my (hopefully 'our') best route is lobby Palm to replicate the Treo idea of replaceable batteries. It can't be rocket science if we all whine loud enough... :-)
