Many products succeed when they are re-packaged. If Most Americans are getting their news from the web, what exactly is the difference?...well the app costs money of course, but 99 cents a week? If the app is good enough, people will pay ah la fart-app... impulse buy. I think you'll see the price drop or a micro-subscription whereby ppl turn it on and off for a week. I know I might pay for it, if: 1) It had the content and the features 2) I had the time to read it!
I don't see how a color of a machine can change a market perspective. The mac is a great machine for any business because it can run the MS suite, play Quake2 and still manage to have better looking graphics than the PC market. I was a business machine before the color change and before the iMac II. It just depends on what business.
I think it's great that they are cloning the units. Any move towards putting technology in the hands of the masses, I support. I don't own a palm or a WinCE but do own a 50meg newton 2000. Your comment at the end, I am curious, states that you hope they crush Microsoft (well ce). I think the palm is using nasty technology for the price. Why have they not gone to something a bit more elegant. For the money they charge, you think they could invest in a GUI. I like the size and weight of the palm, but at least you can see the effort in terms of GUI. From the first palm pilot, I can see no great leeps of GUI, just networking milestones.

nice
Its a google webView 'feature' that is enabled by default and all password protected sites viewed via a custom application has the same problem.
Nokia 8801 or 3650 (way cheaper but lame) will connect EDGE via bluetooth easily and isync
wtf!
