Software
Many developers are now developing for both Palm OS and Pocket PC at the
same time, though that was not always the case. Palm has much more
software since the Palm OS was out first for developers to work on, and
many say it is easier to develop for, though as the two operating systems
mature, the "piles" of software for the new devices tends to be fairly
even. If you like free software, the
Palm OS has the largest commonwealth of freeware (100% free
software). Both OS's tend to have an extensive area of pay
software. If you want games (want to buy them that is) then Pocket
PC devices tend to have high quality games for you to play available
sooner than their Palm OS counterparts.
Both the Palm OS and Pocket PC come with a number of software items
each. Most include software like AvantGo on your ROM. They do
this because there is some software that was not developed with the OS,
and was added it by other companies later. Microsoft and Palm
include this software so you will always have it because they feel it is
useful. Many companies, like HP, offer software extras with there
device (software that they developed or their partners developed).
