As I mentioned, the Palm devices have caught up in some areas.

The NR70 screen is very very nice. It has good clarity, it's fast, and
bright. And it displays videos very nicely.

To a degree, the HandEra 330 does this with it's colapsable silkscreen
area.

The NR70 has taken this concept to a new level.

Darn! :-/

Having been a Palm user for a few years, I saw many nice features
provided by the Palm OS.

My biggest complaint is Grafitti. After using it a while, it got very
old.

FWIW, one reason that the Palm OS has a nice integrated look and feel to
it IMHO, is that numerous programmers involved with designing the Palm OS
software were ex-Apple software engineers. :-)

In the Palm OS arena, it seems like Palm is slow to develop new features
and capabilities.

Thankfully folks like Handera, Handspring and Sony have been there to
push the platform.
