The writing was on the wall.
1) Palm failed to integrate expandable memory (no Micro SD)
2) Palm failed to create a GSM device in a timely manner

failing to create a product with the above features. pushed consumers like me to either but an n900 or an Iphone 3Gs.

palm have to earn some street cred. I belie if they hang in there, solve problems 1 and 2 they can earn there way back.
