what you people don't get is that PALM don't get &^%$# S&**& about any of us or
the PALM comunity they unfortunately created.
Their vision is to conquer the mobile phone market and beat Apple, they could
not be MS so they joined them.
Palm gave up on their own OS and GAVE it away and to a foreign company no
less....
so as they say out there in REALITY LAND, DEAL WITH IT.......
