I never said they were "great" ... just good enough to be widely used
in cell phones
Personally I hated trying to type on a 10 digit keyboard and enter

Palm's sales have been off. RIM's sales have slowed
Not sure if HP and Dell report numbers of units sold.
But, they are not ubiquitous items like cell phones.
I suspect they have done what the Newton did where it is absolutely the
right device in numerous vertical segments but not a general consumer
device like a cell phone.
