Re: Palm PDA <--> as/400

A front page article in the wall street journal today re palm and its recent
problems.

Looks like palm is blowing its lead. They think they can do it all. hardware
and software.  End result:  palm market share down, windows pocket pc up.

Another example, ( apple, palm, our as400 ) where a platform that has the
hardware and software controlled by the same entity is at a long term
disadvantage to a platform where the os is controled by one company and the
hardware by another.
