QOTD: Was There Really Anything Wrong with Palm OS? | Just Another Mobile Monday

QOTD: Was There Really Anything Wrong with Palm OS?


Question of the Day:  Was there really anything wrong with the Palm OS?

Let%u2019s see, tens of thousands of apps, a stable operating system (minus a few mis-steps with NVFS) and near perfect hardware integration.  Those are / were some of the characteristics of the Palm OS that made it a work horse.  Yet, for these and countless other strengths of the operating system that brought mobile computing into social consciousness, it received countless hard knocks and criticisms from, well, just about everyone.  The funny thing about the Palm OS is, that in my opinion, one of the major players now-a-days borrows several of its concepts, a few being no multi-tasking and a centralized home as the interface to the UI, consisting of pages of icons lined up on a grid.

So, what do you think?  Was the Palm OS as bad as some made it out to be, or are some people simply not happy with anything?  Hit the comments below and let us know your thoughts!
