Ah misplaced pride and optimism - so cute in a disturbing sort of way. Someone should give Jeff a firm slapping to awaken him from this fantasy. The only way they can bring POS into this century would be to create a complete new OS. Sure, it's nice that they're finally adding something resembling multitasking and things like that, but I've had that since Win CE 2.1 - that's what... about ten versions ago or something?
In the end, POS doesn't give me the tools, power and control I need to do my job. I used to be a hardcore Palm guy (in fact, I was a software developer for two years!), but now I would never want to be limited by a bad OS ever again. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will not buy another Palm unit until they completely rewrite every bit of code into an entirely new OS.
