If NOK gets interested in adding to-do list in their cellphones, that will mark the end of Palm. Why? Nokia has already gotten a license to use PalmOS, has it not?

Re:Which is easier: For Nok to become Palm or for PALM to become NOK? Personally I think it's easier for Palm to become NOK. Palm integrated phones are already available from Hand, Kyocera, and Realvision(HK). While mot, samsung and nok are working furiously to bring out their version of Palm phones. The radio portion of the Palm phone is commodity according to Yankowsky and Palm doesn't seem to be very interested in going on this path. I think the strategy of Palm is still to create the best handheld interface so as the cellphone companies will have no choice but to license it. If Palm starts bringing all kind of its own phones out - which is not very hard for Palm to do - it will anger the likes of nok and mot and force them to turn to Epoc. Mang
