Before everyone piles on, I'll note that my wife has a Palm, and I will be writing some software for it (or more precisely, for tens of millions :) of others out in the world), using hers as a debugging platform (my development kit runs on my desktop machine, of course).

I also have (somewhere), a second-generation HP handheld, can't recall the model number at the moment, it runs WinCE 2.0. I bought it so that I could write an article about it (IOW, I made some nontrivial bucks on the deal), and after it was published in the deadtree pub, the article made its way to MS's site where it was available for probably close to two years. (I stumbled upon it there one day while looking for something else.) It may still be there somewhere, but my bookmarks can't find it.

So I'm not entirely bereft of exposure to the little devices, and I'd like to think that my thoughts and comments are not based on rank uninformed ignorance.

You may now resume flaming...
