We believe that the time has come for us to phase out the Palm OS conduits from Life Balance.
We've really enjoyed developing for Palm OS. It represents many years of our work and we're a little reluctant to let it go. Palm essentially rescued us from the demise of the Apple Newton Messagepad, and over the years we've made great friends with other Palm OS developers both within and outside of Palm. We plan to keep the friendships, and let go of the code.
Palm has transitioned from Palm OS to Web OS. The last update to the Conduit Developer's Kit (CDK) was in 2004. On Macintosh, it was 2002. On both platforms, other development tools have evolved to the point where they are increasingly incompatible with the Palm OS CDK. We've worked hard to maintain backward compatibility with Palm OS to support our large installed base of customers, but now this compatibility is interfering with our ability to move forward.
