Then the wallet arguement is null, because what your saying is price is irrelevant (which we know isn't true)people buy what is cheap (Palm has proven this in the past with their sales) just because Palm went up a couple of percentage points in a quarter or two doesn't mean squat I would argue that it was reaction to low inovation and selection of Pocket PCs which is shifting now in favor of PPCs. And while they may sell 2X the Tungstens as Dell's Axim, they won't sell 2X the Tungstens of HP's 1910,V35, and Axim.
