-- I'm awfully glad they ignored advice from "armchair quarterbacks" in the Mac community to make a low-cost "starter" Mac, produce an Apple-branded PDA (oh dear, THAT would have been a bad idea wouldn't it?!), etc.
Actually, no it isn't. With PalmSource and PalmOne dropping Mac compatibility in Palm OS 6, soon there will not be any PDAs that can be used with Macs. There will still be Pocket PC devices that MIGHT work with PocketMac, but without the Palm Mac Desktop, formerly Claris Organizer, there aren't any all-in-one apps unless you consider Entourage. Apple should develop an OS X version of Claris Organizer instead of trying to cobble together a bunch of separate apps to do the same job. Yes, they work but only rudimentarily and I've decided that they are useless for my use. The bright spot is that the latest iPod software apparently has "hooks" built into to allow it to become a PDA when Apple writes the software. An OS X version of Organizer with an updated iPod would be a start. My personal plan is to stock up on Palm Tungsten T3s when they go on close-out after the release of the POS 6/T4
