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.
