Is Palm dead?

I am a faithful Palm user. I used to consider myself a Palm apologist but I think those days are quickly coming to and end.

I have used Palm products for years but I think our affair may be coming to an end.

The reason I chose the Sprint 755p when I needed a new phone was the quick data connection and the scores and scores of software solutions available on the Palm OS.

Those halcion days I think are coming to an end. With the introduction of the new iPhone with its 3G connectivity and open platform, the buzz has definitely shifted to the iPhone within the development community.

The only thing keeping me with my Sprint 755p is the cost of the data plan through Sprint. AT&T doesn't have a plan anywhere near as affordable as Sprint does, so for now, I am staying put. However, I am not recommending any Palm products to my friends or coworkers.

Good luck Palm. Your next OS, expected in 2009, better be stellar and equal to the "buzz" created by Apple.
