I have my doubts as well. But it will get more and more similar
in the end, especially in the higher-end smart phone/PDA phone.
It is said that the next generation computing platform will be the
mobile phone.

Palm OS is now losing to Windows CE and Linux, finally. Symbian OS,
on the other hand, is now dominating the phone OS market.
I am not a programmer but I guess Windows CE is more for
the lazy programmer than Palm OS since the API is a subset
of Win32 API and the programmer mostly already know Win32
API.
