I think it is very unlikely that Apple decides to *bundle* a handheld with their computers. They're struggling already with cutting cost to make their computers cheaper.
Where would a difference in Consumer- versus Professional- PDA be? A PDA is meant to be *Personal*, not something you would leave at your office when you go home. The only difference I could think about is marketing Ethernet-cradles (which 3Com already makes) or, even better, Airport.
But unfortunately I no longer believe Apple would build Airport in their first Palm devices. Apple has taken on the route of Microsoft: More marketing, less innovation. This strategy does turn out to lead to higher marketshare though...
Well.. in the case of iCEO it meant 'interim'... ;-) But with the release of iTools and such we're pretty much sure Apple has jumped on the internet bandwagon...
BTW, the name iPalm is already taken... so let's guess again...

Strange that Apple chooses to make Palm devices now that color Palms are around the corner.
;-)
Or are they color Palms already?
Wonder what the new "Aqua" user-interface looks like on my next Color-Palm device..
