Good observation, Craig. I agree. This comparison is apples to oranges to begin with. It is pointless because the OS dictates the differences.
My point is not about WM6 versus Palm, but the small differences between these device are insignificant even if they were the same operating system. Others, like the RAM difference would only be good if the devices were the same. Yes, it is pointless but people who DON'T KNOW wouldn't know unless they raised the question so that those who DO KNOW could share their insight (and of course their opinion too- whether we want it or not).
