Windows CE (or WinCE, as the sometimes-appropriate nickname) is not Microsoft’s first attempt into the handheld computer market. Also, the greater cpu power means that future game applications will have more enhanced sound than the earlier machines. While the original PalmPilots were restricted to 4 grayscale levels, the new ones are capable of 16.

The Dragonball-EZ is faster than its predecessor, and this makes possible certain enhancements. It involves the new Dragonball processor in the Palm IIIx and V. With that settled, there’s a bit more information I need to share about the new PalmPilots. 'Overall, we are very happy both with CodeWarrior 5.1 itself, and with Metrowerks support.'Ĭonsidering that Metrowerks makes a lot of compilers for other operating systems and platforms, I found it pleasant to see them respond so quickly and thoroughly to Palm Creation’s dissatisfaction. Here is a quote from Palm Creations on their current opinion of the Metrowerks product: A company’s reputation can be won or lost based on the competence and civility of its tech support people. Initially Palm Creations reported very negative results with Metrowerks tech support apparently somebody over there started kicking butt and taking names. Their assignment of bitfields was implementation dependent, and they did not allow for this in their code. The final and most damning problem Palm Creations faced, was that, even with the upgrade, they could not run the code Codewarrior generated! This turned out to be Palm Creation’s fault not Metrowerks. I have to say that Metrowerks bent over backwards, including examining Palm Creation’s code, to make things right by them. Palm Creations developers also reported that they could only set breakpoints in the current source file with the upgrade Metrowerks showed them how to set breakpoints in multiple files. Again, it appears the upgrade has taken care of this as well. Another complaint was the slow speed of the debugger.
