MA, that's a good article indeed. More objective and with some technical details. The article didn't discuss another major usage for Palm - that's for aggregation of data into the servers. I think this will be a major use for Palm in the business world in the near future. Salesmen or customer relationship people can tap in their service orders or sale contracts directly into the Palm and send them back wirelessly into the backend Palm servers. People will get more and more mobile and not tie down to any PC. This should be the starting point of M-Commerce. Palm will be able to sell these Palm servers to all kind of businesses, just like Netscape is able to sell web-servers. The fact that Palm/Sun/Netscape/AOL are all in tight alliance is very significant when I think about it. coms should be able to provide the rest of the wireless infrastructure. Mang
