Great discussion. I didn't understand the real benefit of Palm's announcement until I read this thread. However, I have to agree with Tad that Palm's time is limited. With everyone defecting to PPC and Palm appearing generally unresponsive to their base, how much time can they really expect to have? A Linux move does sound like a great option, but it's too bad they didn't choose it sooner.
I'm still one of the folks who prefers my T|E to the PPCs, simply because the Windows Mobile OS is, as has been observed here, clunky and painful to use. My Palm may be a bit slow, and the screen a bit small, but it does what I need it to do. To add the strengths of a Linux kernal would be great, and who knows, maybe it would lure back some licensees. But, like Laurens, I'm not optimistic. Give us a sign Palm!
