but Apple will certainly beat out Nokia by a long mile. I'd sure appreciate it if you could elaborate on Apple's place in all this. A couple of months back a Cupertino VP said Apple was not involved with Palm, but despite the Newton's troubled history handhelds seem such an obvious niche for Apple.

Re: to Nokia palm phone, I found the following on the Palm website, and the relationship with Nokia : "Palm, Inc.'s open business model: Because consumers and enterprise customers are using devices based on the Palm OS® to help them access and manage information in different ways, Palm, Inc. has partnered with a very diverse family of companies to make Palm OS® products. Handspring, QUALCOMM, Symbol, and TRG all create their own handhelds based on the Palm OS, while OEM partners IBM and Franklin Covey sell specially configured Palm systems. In November 1999, Nokia and Sony signed on to extend the Palm OS in new directions -- Nokia and Palm, Inc. are partnering to create Palm OS® smart phones, and Sony and Palm, Inc. are working together to combine the Palm OS with Sony's world-leading multimedia technology.
