I know that wireless is a fast-changing market. I'm hoping that Palm
changes it's wireless architecture quickly. And the Palm VII's problems
have nothing to do with current technology limits, and everything to do
with arbitrary limitations put on its design by Palm. But hey, it's a 1.0
product. I'm just hoping that 2.0 addresses these issues.
And I know that I've said this before, but push has been incredibly
successful in the wireless information appliance market. Pagers are all
push and have become ubiquitous. Mobile phones are half push and have
become ubiquitous. If Palm wants the same level of success, they're going
to have to take push into account.
