I think PalmOS is sort of OK. But then, I've been working with Epoc Crystal
for the last 6 months, and if you are looking for examples of how NOT to do
a PDA environment, lend a Nokia Communicator from someone (don't buy it, it
ain't worth the money). 

What's the major difference between, say, PalmOS and Newton that makes the
latter so much better?
