I'm not clear why there's so much animosity toward Palm. More competition is good. They showed that multitasking can be run efficiently on an ARM Cortex processor, when Apple said otherwise. Apple added "multitasking". And from what I've read, they have the best notification system and quite an intuitive way to kill tasks (flicking applications up). Also, it seems they've built their system mostly on gestures that are well thought out. They do bring interesting things to the table.
