Trying to makes sense of the arb....the only thing I can think of is the MM's, wall street, etc are NOT GOING to let EB have COMS fly so he can spend PALM money - I think he really pissed folks off (including me) with his arrogant attitude that COMS stock is his to do what he pleases with...especially since this stock has been a dog under his leadership and he has the gall to go dilute shares with someone elses curreny! Ours!! I own COMS to get PALM shares, not to have him buy another networking company cause COMS does not know what the (*(^ to do with em.... My 2 cents...

Guess MA..... The Net and Handhelds are only loosley coupled. Microsoft will sell the handhelds through existing channels for windows - via Dell - via CPQ - via GTW - etc. Handhelds are consumer products and they are price sensitive. I believe Microsoft will be able to compete... you heard it here and have been hearing it here for a few months now. I had the foresight to note that Microsoft would be back with a better product than the "CE" you so enjoyed beating up. Now everyone is calling it vaporware - in apparent disbelief - or ignoring the obvious. Microsoft is BaaAAAck. We shall see. IMO Msft has the wherewithall to get back into this market in a major way. They will not simply walk away and let PALM OS gain any more traction than they have.... not without a fight. Apparently you are of the belief the PALM can hold their own against Microsoft. You may be right. I wish you luck. I don't believe they can. There is a lot more to selling an OS than the sale. Microsoft has developer support down and they have thousands of ISV's at their beckon call. OG OG
