While I haven't heard of the device specifically, I think can answer if a palm device will challange X50.
Background info: I was a palm user for a little while using the Palm III Tungsten T1 and T3. I've now had the X50 (mid) for a few months.
The problem with Palm right now is that the OS has not had any major updating or innovation. its basically the same OS when it was called the palm pilot.
PalmSource the keeper of the OS now that company split in two produced the latest and greatest version called cobalt. They released the OS to manufactors in December of 2003 - that's right, I didn't mistype Decemeber of 2003. Since then no Palm licensee has release a cobalt device. Palm source is now changing its direction and hoping that Linux will be their savoir.
Bottom line even though there may be some innovation coming from PalmOne, that basic OS has remained pretty static and while it may be a little more stable at times then the PPC (I've had to do less soft resets) it is much more limiting, not as flexible and to be honest quiet dated looking.
So I really don't think it will be a challange and to be honest I didn't think the T5 when it came out was all that innovative. Palm users may upgrade their devices but I don't see Palm converting too many PPC users.
