Psion has a near monopoly in the Euro handheld market

I don't have share numbers but almost all of my Euro-based friends are PALM users. A number of apps I use are written by Euro-based developers. The classic PALM tv ad even takes place in Europe. :-)

Palm has no plans to create a 32-bit version of their OS

Going to 32-bit is definetely on PALM's roadmap and I believe they've already announced the future processor family is ARM.
