Jon,
The pre answers some problems but may make more. I used to us a treo 300 and treo 600 but I jumped ship when palm let the platform stagnate. Two prime examples that annoyed me were built in wifi, which was talked about for the 600's successor but did happen till 2007 models as far as I can tell (the 600 was a 2003 model) and palm OS 6 cobalt that never saw the light of day. With as long as palm beat the dead horse that is palm OS 5 and the treo 600 style hardware design I'm waiting to see if they do the same with the pre and webOS or if they actually start delivering innovative product again.
The second thing that gives me pause with palm is their questionable support for Mac OS. The last time I used palm's they talked of discontinuing Mac support, although I started using isync as soon as that became an option.

I'm holding out for the Pre. It seems to address all the problems you
complained about wrt the iPod Touch/iPhone. ;-)
