With you on that. I was a huge Handspring fan but when my current VDLX 
dies Im going to go Sony. I doubt anyone else will take up the 
springboard because the companies large enough to develop something like 
that all have proprietary own-brands or use CF.

Id like to have a  Treo but it would need to be:

Garanteed Graffiti
HI res Colour
GPRS/HSCSD
Memory (at least) expandable
Dual or Triband GPS

A unit like that would be bound to be more expensive than a new colour 
Clie and my existing Nokia 6210.

Looking at the bricks that other people call "Communicators", the Treo 
is good, but its not good *enough*

Handspring, youre blowing it.
