Sony's Palm PDA Coming in September
Sony's newly-appointed president Kunitake Ando revealed Monday that they will release a PDA running the Palm OS in September.
Update: According to c|net, the PDA that Sony will release this Fall will be color, use memory sticks, have the same wireless capabilities as the Palm VII, and be amazingly cheap at less than $200.
Sony licensed the OS last year but the date for the release hasn't been known until now. Recently, there had been some doubt about Sony's plans after they licensed the EPOC OS to use in their smart phones. However, any speculation that Sony was dropping the Palm OS appears to have been incorrect. Ando said the company plans to concentrate primarily on four core products -- the PlayStation, digital TV set-top boxes, the Vaio PC, and PDAs.

I'd buy one in a second. It would also be a great counter to the whole
MP3 player thing that the "Pocket PC" group makes so much noise about.
Less than $200?
If the price and features are correct, there is going to be a real shakeup in this industry.

Pay $200 now, and $50 a month for the Rest of Your Life.

You'll see these being sold by Verizon, Sprint, et al for $200 or less by October, with activation and a 12-24 month service agreement.
I'll eat this post if you don't. Promise.
