Qwerty keyboard? check
SD card slot for more memory? check
As thick as 3 iphones? pretty much
Windows? nope
Need Itunes to wipe its ass? nope

The have done NOTHING since they released the original treo phone. Oh, I forgot, they put out a few versions with WinMo on it versus the ancient Palm OS. That really didn’t change anything since they hadn’t upgraded the hardware since 1997… The sad thing is that a single product innovation from Palm, like an overhaul of the OS, or maybe a DIFFERENT FORM FACTOR, could have kept this company on top of the industry. Now you can by a POS Centro at the back of the Lego isle at Toys R’ Us.

Even more surprising is that there were 2 million people who were aware enough that Palm still existed to actually want to buy their product.

I keep expecting a ComputerTutor type ‘Please, try my product?’ whine for Palm….
