   Geez, PA, what about the Samsung SPH-i300?

   Doesn't the first color PalmPhone already 'break the mold'?
   
   Why wait for BOFH-fons when you've already got a color Palm integrated into a CDMA/analog celfon w/ decent data service? Yeah, I know, Samsung's already leaking the 3G model, the -i330, in Winter Olympics press releases, but, the -i300 works now and works very well in a very small package.
   
   I don't have to schlep around a laptop anymore to have access to Word & Word Perfect documents, Excel spreadsheets & PDFs. I've always got several books to read, and the whole thing fits in a shirt pocket, with every Palm app I want, not to mention 2 megs of AvantGo news and The Register in MobiPocket.
   
   Life is good.

   You are right, the Samsung is pretty cool. In fact you make an interesting point about Palm OS based devices. There is a lot of jockying around the smartphone OS. If Palm can get its act together, they really have a lot to offer in terms of the variety of applications that will run on a Palm powered devices. This is why I think the Handspring Treo will be successful, great form factor and lots of apps. I'm less sure of things like the Danger Hiptop.
