looks like palm is making a keyboard like the treo as an add on... could be intresting... I'm still probably going to get the Treo 270 as its in color. Plus I dont want to pay palm a monthly fee...

Monochrome screen?! 8MB RAM?!

I can accept that this 'emerged' from the Yankonit 'pipe line'. I will not purchase this PDA and will wait to see if the ARM Palms are any better.

Of course, I still maintain my vow to skip my Palm III across and into the nearest large, deep body of water when/if ever the new Apple PDA is released. On that note, I will wait seated in a semi-lotus position, huddled around the dimming Newton Campfire of Hope with my fellow Apple PDA outbackers chanting "New Newton soon, New Newton soon..." to the accompanyment of digeradoos (and I'm sure THAT's spelled wrong).

I can't tell you how unimpressed I was with this thing. Big deal, it downloads my email automatically. :rolleyes: Where are the advancements in how well it works? Grafitti sucks, the OS is boring and there has been nothing compelling to come with a Palm OS since my Palm V came out almost 3 years ago. They are dead in the water. Ok, Apple, your turn ;)

I don't think the innovation is lacking. Between Sony and Handspring, the features are there. There's just no flair--or a "Ta Da!" to make the product just that much cooler than the competition. Like the new iMac, iBook, or iPod. Seasoned Mac users need that Applesque type of excitement to really get excited about a product. We've been spoiled, I guess.
