I watched the keynote.. and wow! I haven't used my Tungsten T5 in ages.. it's kinda dated now and the Nokia N800 has easily supplanted it as my primary pocket-based system. But this! This looks magnificent, really. I actually have SprintPCS as my carrier and my phone is coming close to being 4 years old now. I might just have to get one. Whether or not it'd replace the N800 is debatable--but it certainly might have the potential to do so, particularly if it's opened up enough to let users run apps that they code themselves or aren't from some store (ala iTunes app store on the locked-up tight-as-a-sphincter iPhone).
Not to mention that Nokia's lack of announcing when their next-gen unit may come out doesn't make me want to wait around to find out if I'll want it, eventually. I wonder how many people waited around for Vista to come out in 2003? Duke Nukem Forever? Anyone?
Palm seems to have announced a quarter that this will be released and they even have a prototype that we can watch in action. That's certainly enough to convince someone to buy their product instead.
