Yes, great article, but there were a few inaccuracies. Like when he says
"Palm stepped in and quickly dominated the handheld market with the wildly
popular Palm Pilots, which were smaller, cheaper and easier to use." I don't
think the Palm Pilot was really easier to use with its clumsy interface on
that cheap, small, hard to read screen.

Then, he says "Sure, the Newton's limited processing power (20-MHz
processor)". Might be a typo, though.

But, all in all, an excellent article!

case and paste n.: [from `cut and paste'] 1. The addition of a new feature to an existing system by selecting the code from an existing feature and pasting it in with minor changes. Common in telephony circles because most operations in a telephone switch are selected using case statements. Leads to software bloat.
