I'm a good speller; I've just been a lousy typist since I had to take three weeks off work due to wrist pains. Even a year later, I haven't gotten used to the new way my right hand works.
That's been common knowledge since the Palm m130 came out. That and a few other screen tradeoffs combine to form a screen that's substansially less easy to read than the IIIc, which is why I stuck with the IIIc until just recently. (I have an NR70V now.)
Um... Palm's already announced a repackaging. Several days ago, when this story first broke. A better question is why SlashDot so far behind and so incomplete on reporting it.
That might have been what the reviewer said, but I very much doubt it was what he meant.
The truth is that the Mozilla interface is horrible. And yes, a good part of that is that it doesn't look like whatever platform it's running on. But the major problem is that nearly every difference makes it less functional. It's difficult to explain the difference between "doesn't look like it should" and "doesn't work in anything approaching an intuitive manner."
I'm running the IE skin on Mozilla and it has made me much happier. For all my complaints about the Microsoft GUI, it's several steps beyond the Mozilla one.
However, the skin is not finished. Imagine if the energy spent making excuses for the poor design were instead spent on a decent design!

I don't understand that one at all. If you do, can you give me the 25 word or less English version? Thanks. :)

I think my reaction to BT losing is along the lines of "pleasently surprised." Which means I must be getting very cynical.

Floppy refers to the technology used within the disc, not the outer casing. 3.5" discs, like 5.25" and 8" discs, use a flexible magnetic surface.
