The designer, Paul Mercer, a former Apple computer engineer, began work three weeks ago at Palm on a line of new products, a company spokeswoman said, but she declined to comment further on the project."</i><br /><br />It's a New York Times article, so registration is required to read it, although you can find other sources of the information <a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=palm+iphone&btnG=Search+News">here</a>. Palm's been a trailblazer a few times before, so I wouldn't rule them out in capturing the public's imagination yet another time. That said, it's pretty clear the iPhone has the buzz for the moment.
