Palm didn't invent the PDA but they were the first to make it a broad success and dominated the market for 10+ years.
Then they failed to keep up with technology and lost all their best people. It died.
Then they hired all the disgruntled iPhone people at Apple and made a great product, at least the demos look awesome.
Now they've failed to keep up with sociology and lost all their die-hard fans. It will die.
It's a shame. Palm is my favorite PDA (and after using my iPhone for 2 years, I'd still switch to a Palm if it did 3G and YouTube).
