I can pretty easily find very good software for my palm pilot to do almost everything I want (besides things it’s just not capable of like real-time video) and if there’s something I can’t find it’s very easy for normal people to develop for. There’s even an on device C compiler someone wrote although personally I don’t like the included editor. Contrast the iPhone where the only real things apps get you are push notifications and there’s nothing you can do even if you’re a decent programmer because you’re totally locked out. Plus nowadays we have github so there’s no need to “hunt” for software.
