Can Newton 2.10 be built in VS 2005?

Note: The following is slightly off topic.

I think mobile devices, etc may one day have DLL's, but currently i don't think the applications on them are powerful enough to rearly need them. Personaly i don't have an IPhone, etc. But based on what iv read about devices like them, they don't seem to be all that powerful. Apples latest pad thingy is ment to only be able to run one application at a time, so you can't listen to music and do something else at the same time.

Consoles should already be dead. How there not is beyond me. They may be initially cheaper by say £200-300 but if you factor in the price of games (£30-50) compared to PC ones (£4.99-19.99), over time you will pay alot more and you get less(Lack of mods for example. Most games that are on PC and Console have the PC version with extended content).

I don't think DLL's are falling out of favor by hardware makers, but that the hardware you mention isn't powerful enough to need them(Well they can't run applications complex enough to need a DLL).

But is is all the opposite, even when console Games cost more than PC games and, by far, are more expensive to make, they also sale by far a lot more than PC games.
The thing Stucuk, is the target Demographics of console Games are people of all ages, while the demographics of PC game are computer enthusiastic in general.
I agree, the Iphone is not all that powefull, but it is the way it is presented, that makes people buy it, and because people buy it, it gets better and better with each incarnation.
I bet that if someone run a poll on people who Play Games and are also Computer Geeks, you will find that they play more PC game than console Games,
but if you make the same poll on all the people who just play video Games, there are more of them than just the PC games players.
Take for example World of WordCraft, it is a PC game and it sales a lot, but that's because the demographic of online strategy games is smaller but more militant.

I give you two example.
Dramas movies are by far better Movies than action Movies.
but Teenager go to movies a lot more than adults, so the movies industry spend more making action movies in the summer than making Dramas all year round,
but they make Dramas only to keep the prestige of the Companies.

But it also works backward.
Hate Talk in AM Radios and TV Cable companies like FOX News have by far a much more smaller audience than variaty shows in networks,
but Hate Talk like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have a militant audience that is guarantee to listen every day.
therefore advertisers can pay $400,000 million dollar to one merchant of Hatred in Hate Talk because they can get 8 millions listener every week.
but when you put together all of the variety shows in newtwork they get over 100,000 million listeners week,
but the demographics of variety shows does not have the buying power of the Demographics that listen to Hate Talk in radio of Television.
So advertises to not supports single variaty show as much as they support single hate Talk shows.

You probably can see similare behaviur in your country with Tabloid News papers, They are probably not credible surce of news, and they probably do not sale more than there other papers,
but the people that consumes Tabloid news are more likely to buy a single tabloid paper than teh people who buy new paper are likelly to but a single new paper.

The moral is, that is is not what is better that drives the succes of a product, it is what the Market demand.

Like I say DLLs are a thing that are useful on PC, but they where invented to solve a problem that not longer exist,
they survive because they are still practical for other usages.
As Ruesability becomes less and less useful on new devices, so is the usages of DLLs on those devices.
Even on PCs.
