Palm OS

Berst gives lots of reasons for Palm's success, all of them good ones. But he leaves out the most important: Palm OS succeeds because it is designed to be a palmtop operating system. WinCE doesn't, because it's a dumbed-down desktop operating system.

When you start from scratch, and you have a pretty good idea of the capabilities to be included, you can build a great system. This fact will be important to remember as the Palm and its OS are grafted into cell phones and God knows what else. There will be a strong temptation to hang a lot of junk on the Palm OS, and it may end up looking like Windows 3.1.
