Counter FUD

[patrickwest]

Folks,

A post just went through on a mailing list I am on. It struck me as a FUD posting. Since most of the 2600 group members use iSilo formatted files this type of post can cause everyone to gasp and worry.

I would like to have something to say to counter the FUD tone of his last line.

[iSilo]

The Palm OS and Windows Mobile platform versions of iSilo, as well as all other platform versions of iSilo, are all very much alive. The only concern here is with Symbian OS. The Series 60 and UIQ versions of iSilo have had very little support (e.g., not enough customers) and as such development of platform versions for S60 3rd and UIQ 3.0 are at a lower priority than for existing platform verisons.
