Hello rrufff, I agree ... what's facinating about the "Palm" argument is that it's being made by people who don't seem to understand the revolution. I have two Palms ... and neither one can provide anywhere near the capabilities of my laptop. The problem with my laptop is that it's bulky to carry and use. I believe that the ultimate becomes the wearable ... full PC functionality and compact size. I believe that the Quartz has some room ... and I think it will help to kill the Palm (now there's one stock that I would consider shorting if I were a shorting type of person!) since it is being promoted by the cell phone vendors. I think that Palm has kinda' missed their window ... the future will be machines that can run a full blown version of Linux ... ;-) Scott C. Lemon
