What did you expect...
That's where it is heading....
RE: What did you expect...
Damn, That was short lived...
Does kind of look like a toilet come to think of it.
Overpriced and does too little

Audrey Awry
That's a very narrow gap if you ask me and looks like 3Com just couldn't squeeze in. If anything, Palm should be the one coming up with an "Audrey" and hopefully not call it that and really, the design of this appliance does look like a cistern.
Maybe Palm can then bundle that product with their MyPalm and/or Palm.net service. I do feel sorry for 3Com. They had to spin off their hottest product line and they thought they could get a little of it through Audrey. I like what they do with their micro-servers and maybe they should concentrate more on that. Build digital nervous systems for the home and small offices and let Palm do the rest.
The loss of the Kerbango is even sadder
Who cares?
Also, FYI, it did *not* run the Palm OS in any shape or form. I'm not sure where his misinformation is coming from, but this is the second Palm "news" site to get this wrong (the other being PalmStation), so I suspect you guys are just copying the same thing from one another. Time to get another source. ;-)

RE: Who cares?
You can sync your Palm to Outlook, Yahoo, and a bazillion other things. None of them have any "elements of the Palm OS."
Besides, the fact that it was on CNET should be reason enough to assume that it's incorrect. ;)
it does _not_ run linux also :)
FWIW, QNX is _not_ a linux os, it's something very different. Just because it's posix-compatible and you can compile freeciv on it it doesn't mean qnx is another linux flavour.
It seems to me the source of this article is not very reliable regarding operating systems :)))
Palm OS and QNX
