That's what laptops are for (Score 2)

The palm isn't meant to do everything possible. It is meant to be a companion to a computer that can do all of that. Although it may be cheaper than a laptop, with all of the accessories, and batteries that you would go through, your cost it just about the same after a couple of months. While this would make the plam able to great things, who needs those things in a business meeting, or when they are trying to find a phone number. And then what do you do if you want to plug in your ethernet card and read your email, or download a palm app, but you need your extra hd space to store it? Then put another slot in it! If you want that get a pc104 setup, and forget the palm. As for running Linux on my palm, that would be cool, until I had to type in a long command line.
