Well, I'm still worried about the future of PalmOS. Even if this story is mostly a false alarm, the news of late has not been favourable for PalmOS. (I'm writing a business plan at the moment, so I'm very much "into" the subject matter right now.)
The fact remains that WinCE is more appealling to businesses because of the better database connectivity. I believe that any real growth in PDA sales will come exactly from the business market. The consumer market I consider to be a lost cause for PDA's - SmartPhones will dominate here. PalmOne's product strategy seems to point in this direction as well, with the Treo 650 obviously getting more attention from the R&D team and the T5 being such a half-baked effort. I bet we'll see a range of cheaper, cut-down Treo's next year, targeted at the consumer market.
