Don't forget about the OEMs like Kyocera, Samsung, Sony (yes, still producing PalmOS devices), Acceca, Symbol, and about 2-3 dozen others.

Looks like the numbers don't back you up, Bubba. Besides from pa1mOne, it appears that not a lot of PalmOS devices are being sold these days.

And if you think China will save Palm, guess again. Ask yourself just how many American companies have been allowed to make money in that repressive Communist country. Palm will just get USED by China just like every other company that has gone over there wide eyed, drooling over the potential of access to a billion person market, only to return after being taken for a ride, Beijing-style.
