Like everything else, both the PPC & Palm interface leave something to be desired. I think the Palm interface is more user friendly out of the box, especially for a new user. Tap Solitare, it starts...PPC, Start -> Programs -> Games -> Solitare. Sure its more like Windows, but I don't necessarily think that's a postive in a PDA.
Now, configure a PPC with some nice add-on's, and its quickly becomes much easier to use.
I've owned lots on either side of the fence, the Treo 650 & 600 are amazing. One handed operation, intuitive inveface (ex. Contact lookup), and really blow the current Smartphones away. I'm anxiously waiting for WM2005 for Smartphones to see what the MS boys have come up with.
Same for the Palm...load up some 3rd party add-on's and it too becomes a better user experience.
Either way, I'd love for Palm to be successful to keep MS working hard to gain marketshare. MS is best when chasing the leader...now that they've pased Palm, we'll see how they progress.
