"Any idea how seamless the introduction of Apple's new consumer portable is likely to be in the midst of Palm's massive "installed base?" Doesn't the Palm already speak Mac? What are the other issues involved in getting potential consumers to choose the Apple over the Palm?" Mark, General rumors suggest the consumer portables will be running Mac OS, not some compatible, Magic Cap-like OS like the Newton (RIP). Even if I had a Palm Pilot and loved it and docked it to my Mac effortlessly every day, when the time came to buy a new Palm Pilot, if I had the option of buying a Mac OS palmtop, there is no question that I would switch. Just my thoughts, but I don't think I'm unique in this respect. Dirk
