ah yes, 'true rtos' like 'true multitasking.' the fact remains that

and what about google android? certainly linux is not a good choice
for phones because it's not a 'true rtos' either, right? yet nobody
seems to bash that.

it actually doesn't matter as much as you think it does, as the iphone,
google android and now the palm pre show.
