dequardo,
Just read about your experience with the Jornada. Sorry things didn't work out for you.
I have a few things to interject to your complaints though. First, I've found the speed of the OS to very good, the only time there seems to be a "slow down" is when there are REALLY large amounts of data to chew on, but by and large performance is good.
I've used Peacemaker, and I can't see at all why you think it's too slow. I exchanged business cards with my Visor, and the transaction was instant! How much faster do you want it?
And, AvantGo IS built into ROM, in fact, it's part of Pocket Explorer.
..."form factor is just OK"? Are you crazy! It's awesome. It looks better than any Palm device (with the exception of the Palm V) on the market! I'll take a metal case over cheap plastic any day!
We both agree on the stylus though....it's terrible. The design team should be drug out into the parking lot and shot for coming up with this thing!
As for Smartphones and WAP devices taking over, we'll see. Although, I have been saying continually that everyone here is making a huge mistake by assuming this will be a war between Palm and Microsoft. Microsoft isn't Palm's enemy....it's Symbian we have to look out for. And judging from the latest news, it looks like my fears are justified!
