Does a 25 billion $/year company using Palms internally at multiple
locations with software not labeled 'demo' qualify in your book?
The Palm is not a toy. Nor is it a full featured PC. Its a small hand held
computer. If you need more screen real-estate, buy a PPC tablet. If you
need more power, buy a laptop. If you want a Swiss army knife, go out and
buy one. But don't complain to everyone when you can't fillet a fish with
it.
Quit bitchin' about what the Palm doesn't have and focus on what it does
offer. If your not happy with the features or the direction Palm is
steering towards, get some capital and have your own model made. Symbol did
it, Kyocera did it, TRG/Handera did it.
