The lifeDrive is definetly a step in the right direction hardware-wise, but PalmSource has totally dropped the ball supporting Palmone's hardware.
Having used both I'm pretty much OS agnostic, but right now WM is totally trouncing POS. I'm really hoping to see some more competition come out of the Palm camp, or I think they'll be going away (treo can't keep them afloat forever).

I second. I've been both a PPC and Palm user for a good long while, but have become disenchanted with PalmSource's support of Palm devices. The T5 was a good idea, but I don't know how many times I had to hard reset it due to software conflicts from its new memory management scheme. And the LifeDrive is a neat idea, but I've decided to not bother getting one because the initial reports on it are just too bad. Sounds like a good device with a poor OS.
I'd really like to see Palm get it together to keep some competition in the market, maybe adding a Linux OS to the LifeDrive, e.g. But, I think they are just too late on getting their act together.
I expect to be selling my T5 soon, as the one PDA I use almost exclusively now is my x50v. I have very few complaints with the x50v and I suspect most of those will go away when I get the WM2005 upgrade (better memory management and a decent Pocket Word). But, as much as I hate to say it, because Palm is what got me into PDAs to begin with, "bye-bye Palm, my old friend - I hope you get your act together."
