jeff, this strong, early action on COMS two weeks ahead of the ipo indicates to me that a) people want PALM as a long term hold, not just a flip, and b) there is a growing, albeit an underlying, perception that COMS is improving its business. yesterday cory johnson from tsc said it well when he made some comparisons... " I think that Palm is really creating some distance between it and its rivals now... In every new technology, something emerges as an unshakable standard, a monopoly even.... Microsoft did it. Intel, to some extent did it. It's not illegal... It's just natural that consumers want a standard. Palm seems to be clearly on the way towards that." #reply-12827114 i agree with your suspicion that eb hasn't shown us all his cards. but i do think that he has gotten up off his visionary butt and begun to implement some solid plans. :) mark
