There is quite a number of i-applis that regular people are hearing about
and would like to try, irrespective of owning a 503i. From Casio's point of
view, better do it with their machines !
Cannot speak for PocketPCs, but I welcome small apps that don't take over my
PC. Also, some of those i-applis are better marketed than regular
soft/applets.

Yes, i-Jade (thanks Hummel san) is an emulator. With something simpler /
more transparent to the regular user, at least like a plug-in, it would
likely catch-on among regular consumers.
Again, simple applets are not bad, I am amazed at how many people still play
solitaire or minesweeper on their PCs.
