ZDnet has an
article on Palm's push for more support for enterprise computing sector. It discuses the new wireless options and upcoming competition with
handspring. There's also a funny quote from Kessler on the color question: "We'll do it when we can get the price right, the battery life right, etc. It can't be a brick that requires you to carry a
'man purse' with batteries in it."

Still excited about the Gameboy emu, Gambit?
News.com has dug up details on the next generation gameboy. It will have a 32-bit processor & internet capabilities, even email.
What's funny is that they mention it as evolving into a PalmPilot competitor. The article is
here. I don't think we'll see a Palm emulator for this anytime soon.

Lucent or
spin off it's
Palm unit. More
