thought I might go for a new Treo.
When I go to the page
http://web.palm.com/products/smartphones/treo700w/details.jhtml
I saw the agonizing Microsoft logo. Apparently Palm has decided to put their
"ease of use" on top of the Windows Mobile platform. It means that every
time I would go to use my phone I would have to be reminded of a monopoly gone
bad.
It is a shame that one of the last bastions of closed source good software
felt they had to partner with someone who is basically their biggest
competitor.
I may never be able to purchase another Palm again.

Palm has also announced that they have plans to release products that
use a Linux-based O/S. That might sit with you better. Now all they have
to do is actually release it....
