Interesting, Tracy...I'll pass that on to her. Thanks. One significant thing this doesn't overcome, however, is the desire for her company's IT department to standardize hardware in an effort to reduce support costs. Any way you dice it, nearly any device as flexible and multi-talented as a Treo is going to be more expensive to support than a device that is as locked-down and standardized as a Blackberry is. I wish it weren't the case, but as Palm OS gets older, it doesn't seem to get more stable (just the opposite, in fact). We'll see... - Craig
