woah!....  TREOS will now introduce with…. the amazing WINDOWS… in less than 1 year.

now that’s definitely gotta hurt palmOS for saying that.

man, that statement makes it harder for me to sell my windows/ipaq for a palm.

I personally think this might be the first nail in PalmOS…especially since they haven’t updated (or completely changed) their OS in time. Cobalt…hello.

It’s at least the 3rd or 4th nail. Nobody buying Cobalt (it’s effectively ready), Sony’s departure, PalmSource’s sale to Access, etc.

True, ture. However, IMO for this product to succeed, they need to have some sort of merger from Palm Desktop users (like me) to the new system. I don’t use Outlook…I hate Outlook, it’s bloated…

I am not re-entering all my contacts and appointments, etc.

Make sure he doesn’t buy PalmOne’s Treo 650 cradle…I can’t get it to sync to save my life.
