Reason # 10 Palm should have switched to Windows Mobile...

As soon as Palm lost out in the bidding for PalmSores to the Ecstacy-addled "deep thinkers" running Access (into bankruptcy), they should have cut their losses on the PalmOS platform and made the transition completely to Windows Mobile. Cobalt, PalmLinux and ALPOS are vaporware/alphaware. Smart companies don't bet their future on alphaware (unless you're talking abour Microsoft + its steamilg pile of Vista that has been released to unsuspecting victims around the globe...)

Windows Mobile + StyleTap Platform + Palm UI customizations and "bonus software" (tabbed launcher, WisBar, Opera browser, Resco Explorer, etc.) + available Blackberry Suite = the best of all 3 worlds.

Put this on a Samsung Blackjack-sized/shaped Treo and watch people stampede the doors to get the phones.

Instead in 2007 we'll get a ~~Treo 600 with the antenna cut off~~ Treo 755p. Wow. Big f**king deal, Palm. How many times is Palm going to try palming off a refreshed version of the 2003 Handspring Treo 600 as being an exciting "new" model? The competition must be laughing their heads off as Palm continues to s l o w l y enact a bizarre, ritual suicide ceremony.
