That's 'probably' OT for the palm-dev-forum... :)
Palm knows their target and what they're doing, leave em to it, I say ;)

If Palms target is purely the so called smartphone market then indeed 
they are heading in the right direction. However, Palm are not a phone 
company, they started out as a PDA company and did a very good job at 
it. It would appear that they have abandoned this side of their heritage 
and what made them great which can understandably upset many developers 
and users.

I develop Palm applications for vets in the UK and simply don't require 
a smartphone - one complication to many for the user. As my work phone I 
use a Palm Treo650 but much prefer my Samsung D900 for a smoother user 
friendly experience.

The Palm TXs I use to develop on I think is the best of the Palm PDAs so 
far but is showing its age, indeed just last week my boss asked when 
they new Palm would be coming out - to which I couldn't give an answer.

In my opinion Palm should revive their PDA side of the business as to 
quote the Kevin Costner film Field of Dreams, "if you build it they will 
come"...
