>A pity that Palm couldn't keep pace with the PDA innovations of other companies
That was actually the whole idea behind Palm: simplicity in use, speed and battery life are the three most important things in a PDA if you want to sell to business users and other people that use PIM programs (as opposed to users who are mainly interested the leisure facilities in the PDA). The PPCs used to eat batteries and used to be very slow.
A fourth reason Palm for years were selling far better than PPCs were the many very good Palm applications. It took years before killer-applications started arriving for PPCs.
