Yah but its Cingular. ukeface2: I'd rather cut off my arm and start beating myself over the head saying can you hear me now, can you hear me now, can you hear me now...then use Cingular.

For one that is complete, proper, user-oriented and reliabe - yes. For one from Palm - no.

There does not need to be much improvement to Palm OS for it to be better than Windows Mobile. I still use my Palm OS device more than my WM device. Windows Mobile is turning out just like the Desktop version, bloated and unreliable.

And best is yet to come. Having said that I am not excited about palm's os or even about access's ALP.

I don't understand the strategy behind palm developing an OS of its own because as I know Palm split into PalmSource and Palm to separte their OS business from Device Manufacturing business.

Now if palm again starts building os its again going back, then why they decided to split in the first place? Only to have an OS which they won't license to anybody??

Maybe somebody needs to dig deepar in their corporate heirarchy and find out if their is really a great business strategy here. I hope there is :-)
