When you say this, John, do you mean that it actually will not run or the
the screen size is just different and is a pain to run. Will IZL apps
written for the OmniGo run on the Zoomer? If Geoworks is promoting a
platform that runs apps that are not cross-platform runnable, then they
have seriously strayed from the intention of GEOS. I realize that there
might be functional UI differences, but THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER. Of
course, unless HP is trying to limit use of apps to only HP products,
then HP is not promoting such an open environment.
