In a PalmAddicts rant headlined All future Treos to run Windows Mobile? Not so fast.., Jimmie expresses his discontent with Pocket PC fans who continue to proclaim the death of Palm OS.

I am on a rant, I just don't understand why fan sites from the "other side" almost enjoy writing the death of Palm OS, on what now seems to be a monthly basis. They should be happy that they can finally experience a Treo.

I agree with his sentiment about the pervasive anti-Palm smear which is quite apparent in many Pocket PC communities. Listen to me, whose primary handheld device is a Pocket PC: Palm stated repeatedly that they do not plan to abandon Palm OS - and the introduction of the Treo 700w is not going to change their plans.
