Well, stranger things have happened, but I wouldn't bet on it. I just ordered an x60 Tablet PC with Vista Business to replace my current Windows XP x60. That should hold me until the Treo IX running PalmIX comes out.
Speaking of stange: I'm currently testing a Treo 755p. As is often the case, there are many small things that make me care about this device, but that aren't mentioned in anyone's reviews. I really like it! I'm testing to see if Sprint's coverage is OK, and am watchful for customer service slips, but so far so good. More on that when I know more. Funny old world, eh?
