Great find!

I was a bit surprised to hear his statements about smartphones vs PDAs, digital cameras, laptops, photo viewing, SD cards, vacations and friends echo almost verbatim what David Wenning, Tapwave's VP of Worldwide Sales, said at the recent NEPUG meeting I attended. I'd be willing to say it's highly probable that the two companies (PalmOne and Tapwave) have read the same exact market research by analysts like Jupiter Research and IDC. Mobile content, multimedia, gaming and wireless have been forecast to be the "next big things" in the handheld/PDA/smartphone markets.

Along those lines, it was also interesting to see gaming featured in the video, although the controls seem a bit dodgy on the T5 when compared to the Zodiac
