There's an old saying that goes back to the dawn of the jet age, "pushing the envelope." The idea is that if you chart a graph with altitude on the vertical axis and speed on the horizontal, test pilots were always trying to get to that upper right corner, faster and highter than anyone else. What no one wanted to talk about is that this was also where the postage gets canceled.

However, many of these "innovations" have gone beyond "bleeding edge/push the envelope" to mainstream, and they still don't find their way onto a Palm device.
32mb on a WM5 device - how refreshing.
Programs run from SD without ZLauncher, how inventive.
Would you like WiFi with that - watch my David Spader lips -
NO!.
Standard mini-D USB connector - no way, we like broken pins.
"What did you say?" on both ends of Treo 650 conversation - priceless.
None of these "features" are bleeding edge.
