You missed the point of my post. My post was almost entirely biased, and that was intended, because that's what I think.

I just found their commercial ironic, that's all.

I've never owned a Palm. Back in the old days, I compared a Palm to the (then) new Velo 1, chose the Velo and have used WinCE based devices since. But I couldn't be more pleased about this news. I hope Palm stays healthy and continues to provide serious competition for MS. The last thing ANY PPC enthusiast should want would be for Palm to disappear. You think we're waiting too long for a decent Activesynch now? Just think how long the wait would be if MS were as dominant in the PPC market as they are on the desktop.

wanna have pocket pc`s with 50% market share??Well, I have a wish list:

1. Dust Free please!
2. Better Price
3. Long Battery Life
4. Mix the simplicity of Palm OS with the multimedia power of Pocket Pc.
5. Enhanced wireless connectivity.

(too much to ask)

Did, I miss something?, maybe, but I am not a PDA freak, just a simple everyday PDA user.
Anyway, even with Pocket Pc getting 50% or more of the market, I know that my life would still be the same, so no big deal, UNLESS, Bill Gates pays my bills.

6. wicked games
And these ones for MS:
7. flood the stores with brand-name consumer models
8. launch a big consumer marketing campaign

I suppose those things may be big problems, but I had a Mako, I have now had a Mono IPaq for 8 months. IT crashes, locks up, now it has taken to losing files and telling me "unknown card type" So, I bought a new card, three days later it has the same message. I can't pay my hard earned money for the privilege of holding Microsoft and Compaq's hand while they pee on my foot anyway. Next time they should bring a mature product to the dance.

I got a magnificent Sony NR70V last week. I may have some serious problems with it in 6 months, and I will come back here and apologize. But, right now, I am grinning ear to ear with satisfaction. I have wanted to take these pictures, jot these notes, and all the rest it does for the whole 10-15 years since the dreams of truly pocketable computing arose. I think this is it, and MS is not messing with startup Netscape and the other weak victims this time. (flame off)

If you want to differentiate PPC from Palm in the consumer segment, you have to take advantage of what PPC has to offer. The 18-34 consumer sgement can be sold on if PPC can demonstrate slick MP3, videos, games, etc.

You know, I guess when u are satisfied with a product and then the thing is a major dissapointement u have nothing to apologize about. NOT YOUR FAULT!
I have a Jornada 525, (discontinued and at the end of the food chain), and when I tried to upgrade to the 56X series it was a pain. So I stuck with my trusty, dust free, slow as a crawl, BUT WAY MORE RELIABLE Jornada 525. Later I bought a palm m515, right before the NR70V series came out. *sighs*. I think you have a very nice device. I use both the palm and pocket pc. I work in the insurance bussines. I find the palm OS more versatile in my OWN needs and every day use. I use the pocket pc in a different way ( I have a stowaway keyboard and I chat with my wife with MSN mesenger Force when I am away from home).

Wish you luck with your good looking NR70V!

NOW, regarding HR.. I guess the Geniuses in MS should listen to your common sense!

PEACE.

Within 300m from my home, there are 3 different stores that sell palms, 0 PPCs. Furthermore, no one, except for geeks like us, even heard about PPC.
