You honestly think you can run CDC on a Palm???

I think if mobile vendors *could* run CDC at the moment then they would be!

The only CDC option at the moment is on Linux.

I know the Zaurus has CDC/FP/PP but I do not know if the spanky new Motorola
A760 does. It could do!

So outside of Linux there is no real CDC offering.

I know that Personal Profile Basis is being examined by many vendors but for
my money this is not nearly as atractive as Personal Profile. Why? Well take
Personal Java and remove Applets and audio. Hmmm.

As for PDA profile this has become a completely confusing state of affairs.

The PDA profile per say no longer exists. Now there are two JSRs aimed at
File Management and PIM management. BOTH of these JSRs to be honest are of
more use on a SmartPhone than a Palm. So the PDA profile is no longer
targetted at the PDA at all! What a waste!!! PDAs SHOULD have their own JSR
but this has now appeared on the Symbian 7.0 long term road map.

Or even only support for Personal Java will be welcome.

I know that Personal Java is "End Of Life", but it is better for me than
MIDP.

I'm curious why Palm is putting so much emphasis on MIDP. I would think
that the
Personal Profile with the PDA optional APIs would be a better fit for their
new devices.

Anybody have any insight into this?
