Well, I see a little good and a little bad in this.

The good is that people are realizing that the PalmOS5 is not in the same league as the PocketPC featurewise. Further, people don't seem to be touting the "Palm is easier to use" mantra so much anymore. Not that I disagree with that, I believe Palm is easier to use, but at the same time any reasonably intelligent adult should be able to figure out a PocketPC fairly easily.

The bad is that, even with it's limitations, the Sony displays that Palm licensees are still ahead of the PocketPC in hardware innovation. Say what you will about the Treo it is a good hardware device, and Sony, well if Sony would just break down and use the PPC OS they'd win by a landslide.

So, it's still a wash really. I've choosen PPC but I can't fault the Palmies.
