  Fitaly no more for Palm OS

I published this over at PalmAddict, and wanted to publish it here.
Pocketpcthoughts is reporting that Textware, makers of Fitaly an alternative text input for Palm OS devices has just announced that they will no longer be developing Fitaly for any future Palm OS devices. Sounds like they are "trying" to stick it to Palm. Pocketpcthoughts says; "I am sure there are some that will not buy the new T/X because of this." I'll respond, I own a TX, and reported this past saturday that you can use Graffiti 1 on the TX . We have a few different options for text input on the "one helluva handheld" that the TX is. We've got Graffiti 2, Graffiti 1, Messagease, Tealscript, keyboard input, ir keyboards, BT keyboards, I am sure I missed a few. The point is that the lack of 1 app of many different input solutions does not mean the TX is doomed, in fact I would say it is one of Palm's finest handhelds to date, and will sell VERY well. I have not read one bad review on it, but I am a Palmyanna:) If you want a rock solid handheld that rivals all others in high end features, at a low price, with many, many input solutions check out the "one helluva handheld" from Palm, the TX.

Comments:
I'm not a fitaly user, but I am a staunch G1-er, and will be until I can't be any more.

I think that the DIA should be open and universal somehow to allow whatever graphical input method the user might prefer.

Palm was guilty of fiddling with the DIA and not letting developers in on what was happening with the past couple of handhelds (T5 and LD).
I can only assume it's happened again with the TX, as the 'home' has been replaced by 'search'.

Sony did it too. :(
 
I posted on here how to get graffiti 1 back on your TX.
I worked with Tyler Faux on SharkTXfix whixh gets the home icon back in the status bar. Palm had to change the status bar because of the wifi icon. I am glad Tyler was so brulliant to come up with a great fix.
