Doesn't anybody on this thread own/use a Palm M500 or M505?

Palm really got hurt as it entered the launch of these two devices with a
significant inventory of earlier generation models. I noticed this remark...

Inventory and related costs of $268.9 million relating to the write-off of components,
work-in-process, and finished goods not expected to be used or sold. On May 17,
the company said that this charge would be approximately $300 million.


...on the latest earnings report.

The older generation Palm devices have come down dramatically in price. What we
could use now is a sub-$100 M100 with an SD slot. That would be an attractive package.
