IBM embraces Palm Technology and products within its own WORKPAD line of corporate scale system solutiond. IBM continues on it path of providing the best integrated solution to business that need the best IT infrasture in a mission critical computing environment. Through its integration of the existing Palm-OS --IBM Workpad line, IBM offers solutions to IT managers in a fully tested wide scale deployed environment.

With this endorsement of of the Palm OS and Palm Hardware (OEMed to IBM for relabeling), IBM is making a clear path towards delivering the best hardware standard available. Then making its money in both support and integration of that technology within the needs of corporate IT purchasing. Customized software solutions written for deployed Palm computing enviroments, are being programmed by and ever increasing number of Palm OS programming specialists. The numbers of new Palm Programmers is simular to the land rush that was seen with Java programers a few years back.

Combined with features such as mobile computing for all Palm users, including those of Voice recently announced and only 90 days away. The number of consumer or corporate desired applications for the mobile enviroment that do not have the best solution based within the Palm environment are rapidly decreasing. Palm has gained is advantage by a simple system that is cost effective and with both the sub 250 and sub 500 price points.

The adoption of the standards are closing in, by the end of 2000 the mobile OS of choice should be finished, I expect to see the number 1 mobile OS, have greater than 70% of the market share.

The IBM of today is not making the mistakes of the IBM in the early 90's. The adoption of the Palm-OS and Hardware is a serious endorsement.
