This is probably a whole new thread. I was a palm addict and I still check all the sites. The Palm units do appear to be falling behind feature wise and I think WM5 may well be another factor that has a negative impact in Palm's next few years.

One of the deciding facors for me was the article by Tanker Bob which makes a very informative and enjoyable read.

And that says it all.

OS6 is apparently further off than ever and will probably not appear other than as a Linux skin. OS5 is probably going on 3 years old and cannot compete.

You cannot wait forever with PDA's, they need to be cutting edge.

I bought my first pocket PC in 1981: a Radio Shack PC1. One line by 24 character display, 1.5K (yes kids, that's 1536 bytes!) of RAM. Excellent little machine - used it to learn programming.

Cheers for that. It makes for interesting and surprising reading. It's a shame stats are not kept anymore (does that make me a nerd?)

I bought my Axim within the last year, but I have used Palm OS and Pocket PCs for about the past 4 years.
