I agree about the decline of Palm. Pilots were small, simple, and functional, and that's what made them so good. Then they started getting bigger and more complex and/or complicated in order to compete with Blackberry in particular though they were facing competition from Pocket PC (a palmtop version of Windows CE), Zaurus and others.

The downfall of Palm began with Palm OS 4. They moved to a new processor, and due to that it rendered all of the previous Palm apps (which numbered in the hundreds) obsolete.
Added to that is that due to a lawsuit from Xerox they had to change the handwriting system to Graffiti 2 (based on Jot, an alternative handwriting system). Unfortunately, it was like completely rearranging the keys on a keyboard which made the device difficult to use. I ended up having to use the on-screen keyboard, which slowed down my writing speed and made it so I had to look at the screen to write, rather than just using the stylus on a touchpad (which I could write without having to look at the screen).
