Hey roc a fella; nice to see you visiting here too (you are more places than ever nowadays). I talked to Peter at engadget at the meetup and he basically assured me you are on point. So hey, count me in that group of believing you.
Palm isnt stupid, do the reasarch now whether you release it or not. If PalmLinux will talke too long, release it and have some (nice sized) short term gains. In my nicely techie gov't office, I passed teh idea of a WinMobile Treo around and folks said they would ditch their Blackberry for one. Why wouldnt they do it now, the PalmOs seems too different for them, even though it does the same thing. Perception is a market that Palm cannot afford not to tap at this point.
My guess is that before the end of the year we will see a new Treo, possibly with Cobalt. And next fall at the latest we will see the WM Treo. In either respect, Palm will have somehting nice to offer, and we all will flock to getting one (unless they keep the RAM at a paltry low number).
