Good. Maybe some real innovation will come back from them.

Palm is also a good candidate for getting bought before a real long time.

That's what you get for trying to convince yourself that green mush poo screens and limited functionalty is what Americans want.
They deserve to go out of buisness.

NSF, do you have a Vendetta against Palm? I'm personally a PocketPC fan myself, but you seem to take eeevilll delight in bashing Palm

Palm is evil. I only bash them (company, CEO, president, etc) b/c they bash MS and the PocketPC operating system every chance they can. Now it's coming back to bite them in the ass.

Sony and Handspring are the only ones innovating on the PalmOS side. Palm is a festering sespool of vomit

PocketPC rules.

BTW, I will be a speaker at Comdex Vancouver in March. My topic will be on programming on PocketPC with .NET.

My favorite quote from the article:

"They've been fat, dumb and happy...Maybe they lost more share than they thought they were going to."

LOL

I am the only one among my friends who got an iPAQ (except for my coworker who got the new iPAQ - forgot the model #). Two of them got a Palm - they acknowledge that iPAQ is more powerful, but they are attracted to the cheap price tag mostly. And it gets the job done. I think that's about all Palm got left, unless they really begin some interesting innovations. As much as I don't like their products, I wish they stay as a significant market holder, though.

I got a Targus keyboard a couple of weeks ago and I don't even carry my 3.75-pound laptop any more. Oh, btw, thank you NFS4 for tempting and convincing me to buy an iPAQ.

.NET will make PocketPCs even MORE attractive to corporations.

On a different note, I recently saw a software from a company called SonicMobility. They had a remote administration software for PDAs (Palm, PocketPC, etc) that allowed administrators to monitor/kill processes, start/stop services, etc all from a 9600 baud wireless modem. The guy showed a demo with his iPAQ; it was so cool.
