Good article.

I think they are right you need to have enough glitz to stay on the consumer radar and robbing the parts bin like they did with the T5 may produce a competent handheld, but it lacks glitz.

OTOH, Palm seems to have identified a real niche market: the low end $200 and less consumer PDA.
