PDAPerformance shuts down

There’s no ques­tion that the Palm OS devel­op­ment mar­ket is in tran­si­tion, and the recent shut­down of PDAPer­for­mance, a Palm OS devel­oper isn’t really all that shock­ing. Palm itself has already announced that they’re mov­ing to a Linux-based replace­ment, so any­one devel­op­ing tools for the old Palm OS are going to be fac­ing a shrink­ing mar­ket (once Palm actu­ally ships).

Just as long as Palm keeps the sim­plic­ity and the ‘it just works’ part of Palm OS while adding more mod­ern fea­tures (multi-tasking), I’ll be happy.
