The Palm forums seem to be driven by negativity and 'debates' about what Palms can or can't do well (multitasking, Wifi, whatever) while here most people overall seem happy with their devices and tend just talk about what they can do with them and how to get those things done.
And I think this says alot.
I know this is a generalization, and no generalizations are true on a case by case basis. Just an observation.
And thanks for the great forum.

i was basically a palm guy, and let me share something about those negativity...
in the PPC world, initially it was such a crappy OS - highly unstable, memory hogs, very slow, etc.
but at least there were efforts to improve upon it - persistent storage, dual card slots, wifi/bt, more stability, etc.
the problem with the palm world is that it has basically been a
standstill - palmos6, which was promised to change all that; eventually evaporated into the ether... we now have rumors of a Treo running windows mobile...
and of course, you being a faithful "follower" - wouldnt you feel resentment and disappointment towards the manufacturer? all those promises...
c'mmon, it has been two years now since OS5 - and the LifeDrive? as in duh!?!
it is just that no one wants to be left alone...
