RE: Is nothing sacred?
I really do think Palm is missing the boat on Java though. With Java becoming more and more popular for enterprise server application use, client use is sure to grow as well.
When it comes to handhelds Palm seems to be behind in this crucial area. The Zaurus has a pretty solid JVM. Hell, even the PocketPC *yuck* has better Java support than Palm.

RE: Is nothing sacred?
The certification process for BREW is painful (luckily, we were able to spend a lot of time in Qualcomm's BREW labs getting the apps to a point that they were more than stable for certification). One thing that BREW certified apps do guarrantee though is that they provide a minimum level of stability and functionality - something that is largely missing in the PalmOS environment, and is a definate requirment by cellular carriers for software loaded onto smartphones. This will become increasingly important as converged devices become more prevalent.

Is nothing sacred?
I wish Palm put half as much effort on building a good J2ME(Java 2 Micro Edition) environment as they will end up putting into this BREW stuff. Then Java programmers could easily create cross-platform apps.
