When developing software for handheld computers such as the iPAQ, Palm, and Visor, you often face challenges
that are at odds with each other. On one hand, users expect applications with resource-hungry GUIs that can be
manipulated via stylus, virtual keyboard, and the like. On the other hand, you must contend with the space and
processing constraints that are normal in the embedded world. In part due to issues such as these, Linux is
increasingly becoming the preferred platform for embedded devices such as handheld computers. Not only is
Linux resource friendly (and because these systems have little Flash and RAM, they need a resource-friendly
solution) but it is also cost effective (there are no per-device royalties required when using Linux).
A menudo las personas que desarrollamos software para handhelds como iPAQ, Palm, y Visor, nos enfrentamos a
retos que chocan entre sí. Por una parte, los usuarios piden aplicaciones con interfaces gráficas de usuario (GUI)
devoradoras de recursos que puedan controlarse mediante punteros, teclados virtuales o métodos similares. Por otra
parte, debemos enfrentarnos a las restricciones de espacio y procesamiento características del mundo de la
tecnología integrada. En parte como resultado de este tipo de problemas, Linux se está convirtiendo gradualmente
en la plataforma preferida para los dispositivos integrados, como son los handheld. No solamente es una
plataforma que aprovecha mejor los recursos (tengamos en cuenta que estos sistemas tienen cantidades limitadas
de memoria Flash y RAM, y por tanto necesitan soluciones que aprovechen al máximo los recursos disponibles)
sino que es más rentable (no es necesario pagar royalties por cada dispositivo en el que se instala Linux).
