Cross compatibility

[From Slava Markeyev from San Diego, CA] Hello PalmAddicts, my name is Slava Markeyev from San Diego, CA and I have to admit I am addicted to Palm. I previously owned a Palm 600p for roughly 2 years and now I own the 700p. Everyday I see people carrying around their lightweight phones with keypads the size of thumbs. While the palms are rather big what I love about them and what will not get me to switch is the large number of 3rd party applications available for palmos. I feel cellphone manufacturers such as LG, Nokia, etcetera, need to sit down and create a standardized OS for their phones which would allow applications to be loaded on across several different models of their phones. No I'm not talking about loading windows mobile on every phone. I can continue to rant on and on about that but bottom line is cross compatibility. Palm obviously got that concept but unfortunately they seem to be going downhill so we'll have to see what is to come in the future.
