Odd, I use the NZ90 for work-it seems like its a potential work machine-with a lot of toy-crap in it.
Consider this:
Sony and palm are making less money on decreased handheld sales but they're shooting themselves in the foot by generating multiple versions of machines-none of which get it (functionality 64mb RAM, more options for chosing toy v. practicality or user specified blend of both. Sony is falling over their feet but each machine falls short; SMALL SCREEN V. LARGE SCREEN V. NEARLY UNUSABLE KEYBOARDS V. POORLY LIT SCREENS V. POOR RESOLUTION SCREENS V. MS V SD. Of course no machine is all things to all people and indeed Palm seems less shoot-self-in-foot than PocketPC which is dead-in-the water thanks, probably to, Microsofts not wanting to make PPC compete with their tablet and squeezing their device producers to march-in-step. What NAZI's!
Anyway the thought occurs to me-will Palm devices go the way of the Newton Message Pad (RIP) because of idiotic self-restricting manufacturers who withold, confine, and control the creative minds who fill their pockets! We need a techie revolution to take back the genius which organizations stiffle.
The idea of marketing is to get as many people to by your product as possible and then put out the next new best thing!
Anyway I'm probably preaching to the choir. [/QUOTE]
