There's also the low-cost PDA market niche, which Palm has always served 
extremely well. In fact, I believe that's how the company got started: after 
the commercial failure of Apple's Newton, a bunch of Apple engineers left the 
company and developed something cheap but useful, and it was an instant hit.
I've been happy with my m100 and Zire 21, and when I need a new PDA, I expect 
the future to look much like the present: shop displays will be crammed full of 
$300+ PocketPCs, and then there'll be a $100 Palm for people like myself who 
still like their PDAs to be PDAs, not pocket-sized entertainment centers.
Not that there's anything wrong with Palm trying to get into the high-end 
market, of course -- they probably have to make that effort to survive in the 
long run.

Just my $0.02.
