Does anyone know why the pc and palm version are called bejeweled, and the web and pocket pc versions are called diamond mine? Not important really, just wondering.

I am not really sure. I am thinking though, maybe it has to do with when they came out. First the web version of Bejewled came out, then Astraware go tthe liscence to make the Palm version, before PPC\'s ever came out (I think). Then, they came out with a Pc version of Bejweled and also made Diamond Mine, which is basically the same thing. Then Astrware came out with the Diamond Mine for PPC.
I am not sure, but this is my guess. Does anyone else have any guesses, or even know what really happened?
Someone once asked Howard a long time ago why it is that way, and he said (OK, I don\'t remember his EXACT wrods, but this is the gist of what he said ;)) \"Long story behind that; what it boils down to is the company [PopCap] only licensed us to use the name \'Bejeweled\' for the Palm version, so we had to use \'Diamond Mine\' for PPC.\"
