>>It does sound like they are beginning to get some competition though.<< As long as they execute, they will do fine. MSFT wants to put their operating system into the Palm. COMS refused. For one thing, it's too complicated. The amazing thing is that there is already HUGE software development activity for the Palm. It's getting to be a cult status...sort of like Apple cult or Linux. MSFT is not even close. Palm OS is free to all developers (I think), whereas MSFT will want to control ever inch of the OS distribution. IMO, MSFT won't have a prayer of a chance against the Palm OS...unless COMS screws up. joe
