PDAs have been around since the late 1970s

Seriously, the late 1970s ... Apple's "invention" of the PDA was no different than auto companies throwing the term "SUV" at a pre-existing vehicle category. Read all about it here:

Apple should buy Palm!

Apple should buy Palm! Make a mobile version of Mac OS X and
merge into a Treo iPhone ;-)

Sorry Palm,The Next Generation is here!

The comment from Palm that the next generation will be a combination of phone ,computer w/high speed internet access is redundant.
I traded in my Palm Treo for a Blackberry 7130e.
The future is here with Blackberry and I can't see myself going backwards to a Palm or Windows based PDA.
Thanks Dave Laird

Good for you.

Good luck editing a document, watching a movie, access an extensive catalogue of software.

Also I hope you were not using too much the stylus and the touch screen, because there isn't any in the Blackberry.

For now you can only do this with Palm (and to some extent on Windows) devices.

BlackBerry is going down

IMHO. Windows Mobile 5 devices like the Treo 700w and the Cingular 8125 are way better than any BlackBerry device. The can do anything a BB can do and way more. There is also ZERO cost to your company if your running Exchange 2003 already. No Server like the BB, no software cost...support contracts.

I am not up to date on the latest and greatet BB devices but do any of them allow you download music or have a camera in them????

The Apple Newton is Not Dead!

Apple will not purchase palm becuase palm was started by people that originally worked at Apple. That being said there are other ways to get Apple to situp and take notice of this platform. Knowledgenavigator (through newtonsales.com) is one of the many ways that users can purchase and upgrade their units to ensure future compatibility and usability.
