Jeffrey, True, the hardware end is open. I hope for their sake that when palm releases a new os, that they keep the hardware vendors fully informed so they can add new features without delay and incompatibility. The article says palm lost a lot of money because their new hardware was announced, sales of the existing palm devices slowed considerably and then the new hardware was then not delivered on time. A $400 million writeoff followed. If Palm was just in the os business, they would not have lost all that money and they could focus on improving their os. -Steve ----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Silberberg <jsilberberg@mindspring.com> To: midrange-l@midrange.com <midrange-l@midrange.com> Date: Friday, September 07, 2001 2:23 PM Subject: Re: Palm PDA <--> as/400 >Steve, > > I have not had time to read the article yet.
