Agreed on all counts - no argument. The issue however is that I think there is a market for handhelds with full browsing capabilities. PALM (and any potential ISV) isn't there yet... but that doesn't mean that there isn't a market.

Now, Microsoft has CE which has failed and IE which is a good "full blown browser" to use your words. I think Microsoft (if they cared) have the tools to build a leapfrog product. I don't disagree that CE has failed and that IE is too large and cumbersome, but Microsoft has all the neccessary tools to build a device that customers of handhelds will want - don't you think???
