Sounds like you know more than I do. I did hear though that COMS was going to licence out the Pilot to clone factories in Asia. As for MSFT, they're behind COMS on the Palm type handhelds and the fact that MSFT is there bodes well for the format. That's all I know without digging deeper. Keep us appraised since you seem on top of the situation technically.

<However, software developers will be driven to the open standard Windows CE because that will be running on many more units than the Palm Pilot. > Jon, Window CE is NOT an open standard. Nothing Microsoft produces - absolutely nothing - are open standard. It just becomes de facto sort-of standard by its shear size and everybody hates that. Palm now cooperating with AOL and Sunw will really makes things very interesting. Palm-AOL-Sunw-Netscape - that's some technologies ! Mang
