Well, then that's a shame. To me, the handheld platform has always represented technology in its most democratic form. "Non-computer people" often complain, rightfully, that computers often bring more hassles than convenience. The thing that impressed me most about handheld computers was that they were the first incarnation of the computer to give real tangible benefits to ordinary people while also working intuitively with a minimum of hassles and glitches. I would hate to think that its going to devolve into more "made by geeks for geeks" isolationism.
Maybe I'm overreacting. I just fail to see how this change adds anything useful, or does anything other than take something simple and make it more complicated.
