But the T5 is no Powerbook and it's not elegant by any means...the V is elegant, the T5 is heavy, clunky, and buggy. Apple's products are in the 'just works' category, PalmOne is not. Apple is at the forefront of technology or not far behind, PalmOne almost never introduces any new technology (save for its buggy Flash RAM). Apple try to fix any flaw as soon as it can (there are exception), Palm's T3 mad digitizer is awaiting a fix, the TC's lower screen defect get fix a year after it was discovered, the T5 and Treo 650 memory issue is still awaiting a fix too.

PalmOne is no Apple! PalmOne tried to emulate Apple with its airport stores but its clear that PalmOne's musical chairs of CEOs are no Steve Jobs either.

I disagree that the T5 gives a better user experience, anyone upgrading from a TE will have problems with it, it's not restore and play like most previous Palms, so much for loyalty...
