What can you say? They are a company of engineers. That business stuff sometimes just seems to get in the way. I still think fondly of my first PocketPC, an HP Jornada. What a beatifully designed and executed little device. Even had an integrated flip cover to keep the screen from getting scratched in my pocket, and shaded it outdoors. Before Apple ever showed the world that people carred about color, you could buy designer color lids for the Jornada, both business and hip. Did they market it well? Heck no, that StarTrek toy looking thing from Compaq became the darling. You couldn't even put a CF card in it without buying a 'sleeve'. What a brilliant concept, expandability....no, what a brilliant concept, accessory sales.
Oh well, sorry about this. Don't know where it came from.
