I'm even more suprised that people are seriously considering switching over to PPC because the Palm platform isn't "keeping up" in terms of hardware and features. I said previously that the release of the T5, if a "disappointment" to some my cause them to look to the PPC, but to me, it's a fundamental, philosophical difference.

I think that you're right Brian, but it's becoming a harder and harder choice. I recently bought an Axim x30, thinking I was ready to switch over. (I've been meaning to write about it for a while now.) I wanted a bigger screen and wifi and I could get it for around $100 cheaper with a PPC. But I found that I just couldn't do it. It wasn't "better enough" and I found that I
really didn't like the Windows Mobile OS. So for now I'm sticking with my T|E and I'll give it another 6 months or a year. But on the other hand, if I didn't have a PDA already, there would be no contest: I would buy a PPC and probably an Axim. The Palm philosophy is great, and I agree with you and it: to a point. But there comes a time when you simply crave power and features. A delay is acceptable, but when it begins to look like Palm is headed down a different philosophical track from many of us, then we all start to think that we may have to change trains. Hell, 6 months ago a buddy offered to trade his Axim x5 for my T|E and I laughed at him. "I would never use a PPC!" Oh, how things change...
