Comment Thoughts about future of Palm Computing (Score 1) 43
All of this is, of course, IMHO... As a Palm loyalist, I am hopeful they will continue to dream-up, create and produce wonderful tools for us to use. As a consumer, I am concerned about things like the releasing of the IIIx (I have one) and soon the Vx, without any of the expansion devices they are designed for. If Palm or a peripheral vendor announced add-ons for the slot real-soon-now I would continue to be hopeful about the future of the Palm brand specifically. But without the design and products they have out there (or will soon) and instead focusing on cosmetic features only, then I would say the white flag is out and the spin-off is just to dump the baby out with the bathwater before those college bills come due. I want to believe consumers haven't tossed their cash away on the IIIx, but if we have, I know that it will end my relationship with that brand of handheld (and I'm into my third generation of Palm's). And with more choices out there, I won't have to cry too much, as long as my data sync's over.
