The problem, when talking about how successful the MessagePad
"might-have-been" is that most estimates are based off of what the
market currently is, but that is flawed logic because the market would
have been completely different and handhelds would be much more
advanced then they are today (i.e. Apple would have been keeping Palm
and MS on their toes).
