The end of Palm as we know it?

If you don't need any more programs for the Palm platform, by all means, stop purchasing them. Whether or not another company takes up the Palm mantle will have no effect on whether or not your handheld continues to work or is useful to you.
 
The future of Palm will probably depend on whether or not the new Access devices are ever released. They say the new platform will run most Palm applications. I am waiting for the new devices to be released before investing any more hard-earned money.

And read the interview with the supposed "leaders" that can't answer a simple question without asking another one. It's THAT kind of non-commmittal, smug corporate blather that just drives me nuts about Palm, perhaps more than any other corporate blather from similar corporate types.

They can't answer a question and appear to have no idea, OR they want us to think the grand master plan is worked out in secret and will unfold magically before our eyes if just "hush hush sweet Charlotte" around for another 5 years. If I'd been there in the "interview," I'd have said, "well, you sold your a** off 3-4 times, and tried or are trying to buy it back - do you have ANY sense of direction or does that have to go to a committee as well?"

It's infuriating. As Syno asked, "Does anyone really know?" I don't think so. We're way past the period of "it's gonna be big but we can't let it out of the bag." My personal "drag" is that I really like the software I have installed but am not looking for new stuff. But if the T3 bitest hte dust and a I can't get a Tx - I'm "non palm" by default. I hate the Treo screens and memory and glitches. Like I said - infuriating - not that there's a technology change - but that you can't get a word out of anyone what the "plan" is.
