I absolutely agree. If the hardware/software on the new machine is exactly the same as the 770 I probably won't bother to "upgrade" The only major changes that we know about are that it has a camera, SD-card support and is ugly as sin. That by itself is not worth it. USB support, printing support, and better out-of-the-box connectivity are critical. I can't imagine that those items have not been addressed, but I could be wrong.

I am optimistic. It is certainly possible because, basically, the 770 is a heavy Treo with Linux and a better screen but no keyboard/phone/camera. Have you noticed that the 770 screen would fit on a Treo if they removed that god-awful keyboard? But Treo is smaller and lighter.

There are rumors in the Palm community that Palm's next OS will be Linux. Perhaps they will choose Maemo!
