stephenfry.com

Very interesting.

Link seems to be unavailable at present, try later, sorry.

Here's an alternative link:

593417 2007-09-21 09:36:00 Hmm. I like Stephen Fry even better now I find he's a Palm afficionado with opinions on things Palm that coincide with my own!! He especially likes the Treo 650 and Palm OS-based machines over the crappy Windows Mobile versions available these days... I hope Palm reads his blog too!! johcar (6283)
593418 2007-09-21 10:12:00 Yeah, crappy WM based machines, sure.

PalmOS runs so slowly and crashes so much that it should be called NO S. The phones suck, they're ugly and expensive and bulky too boot.

593419 2007-09-21 11:29:00 I could count on one hand the number of time PalmOS has crashed on me in the last twelve months - unlike friends and colleagues that run WM (any version). Yes, they're expensive and on the heavy side, but they do the job they're designed to do and do it well (IMHO). I'd love a phone like was shown in a sc-fi series a few years ago where they had a pull-out flexible screen... johcar (6283)
593420 2007-09-21 11:51:00 Ah yes but with a WM phone, I wouldn't even need any hands because it hasn't crashed at all. beeswax34 (63)
