WLD: Last thing I read (unoffical, not from Palm) said they're supposed to be unveiled at CeBIT in (Hanover) next month, which runs from 3/22 to 3/28. Earnings are due out 3/27, so I'd guess they'd be available for sale at around the same time as the announcements, but who knows? The Palm Vx is now discounted to $399, so that's a sign that they're aiming at working off the inventory before the new models with color and SD expansion slot are launched. David T.
