gigapixels Veteran Posted March 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2007 Honestly I wouldn't mind... Palm's software seems to have just stopped in time as far as advancements go... Windows Mobile seems to keep evolving and getting better while Palm hasn't changed much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm hoping it's Nokia, i like their phones (i haven't managed to kill one yet). Also hope Palm or whoever it is, gets around to getting the OS based on Linux finished, an officially supported Linux distribution for Palm devices would make it attractive to the hacker crowd.
