Youth with their PALM AOL-ICQ-IM instant messager like those gap ads, will sell out inventorys of M105s before they can get them off the factory assembly lines. They should have Flash memory for later upgrades, but then at these prices, and the flavor of the month youth mentality, todays GenX and Nexters will just toss and buy the next upgraded PALM when it comes out. Just watch this take off in Japan. I am, Truly your$, -Crystal Ball P.S. I am increasing my target price to $100 for PALM, yes that is correct, blow past the 70s highs to $100.

David, "The nation's teen population, who are hooked on AOL's ICQ IM, have yet to discover that a Palm can allow them to chat with their friends from anywhere, untethered from their PC's. I expect a big marketing push for the M105 from Palm aimed squarely at this untapped and potentially huge market." I couldn't agree more! I love the idea. This is the "killer app" that Geoffrey Moore always talks about in his speeches and books. The AOL ICQ/PDA commercials offer a taste of the future.
