One can bring old hardware along from my old Palm with Universal connector.
Yeah, sounds like Palm can't win this battle.

Where is your source that all current PPC 2000 (StrongARM builds) and PPC 2002 software cannot be used on the as yet unverified Pocket PC based on .NET?
Palm OTOH readily admits that 20% of their apps will not work on OS5, and we already know that 0.0% of current devices will get the upgrade.
By the way - don't get too hung up on your "Universal Connector." Palm only did that to pacify Kodak on their Camera sled, and only promised to keep it around for 2 years. Come 2003, we may see another connector. BTW, Palm isn't sharing the connector. They have denied Handera the rights to use it forcing them to stick with P-III connections. And Sony has already switched their connection in the less than 1 year the Clie's have really been out. Then there is Handspring, essentially discontinuing the Visor and Springboard concept. :roll:
