If Palm could put out a *cheap* iPhone competitor, Apple would have a struggle on their hands.
Whatever happened to the BE OS that Palm bought? I thought they'd have had a really good basis for a light but powerful hand held.![]()

Would be great if Palm could come out with a great iPhone competitor in a year or so. Anything that stops the marketplace being dominated by 1 or 2 players in technology is usually good I think, and in the end would help ensure that Apple always keeps those high standards. If only Palm could do something about their OS.
Amen! The iPhone isn't for EVERYONE .................................................................................Why do people think it's terrible for there to be some competition to the iPhone? Do they really expect 100% of phone sales to be won by Apple, and anything less is abject failure?
I've had two windows powered phones, one 3 years ago and one this past year. I will say this: "Never Again"
They crash, lose calls, there is an audioglitch where rining/notifications stop after the phone is running 24-48 hours even though on the screen it shows a call coming in, so many things don't work with windows mobile its not even funny.
Absolutely sucks!![]()
Great! so Palms gonna come out with an old fashioned click wheeled iPhone killer that runs System 7?![]()
i'm not so sure about that... there are too many companies who build products under the assumption that customers are uninformed fools, but everyone knows that you (usually, and in the case of most Apple products) get what you pay for...
I welcome the competition. Perhaps Palm could make a phone that's better than the iPhone and not locked to the worst carrier in the US
Palm is becoming another story. I loved my first Treo 600, then a 650 (which I should have kept), and then to a VZN 700P for EV-DO which is cool but that's where it ends. There a long known white screen lag and a short freeze often making calls unaswerable or or other cute tricks. Palm has stiffed us for 10 months and I am done. Apple's iPhone may work for me, it's being billed as a consumer oriented device but phone and email centric which is what I need. I'm sure the apps will come but it looks like I may own my last Palm.
True, the Palm Pilot was an incarnation of the Apple Newton. Not a bad knock-off, but needless to say, a real light-weight. The iPhone will be one tough act to follow, especially since Apple is working on Rev B, as we speak![]()
I know so many people in both UK and USA who still love their Palms, or who have recently converted to Palm through buying a second hand one cheap (Palm Titanium etc).
These things are so cheap second hand now, and you get a lot for the money aparently. I don't have one but I'm considering it.

Good. Bring it on!
