General Comments

The Palm T5 (like the current TX) is a PDA not a PPC. As such it does what it is supposed to very well!
Unlike Pocket PCs that run the Windows mobile platform the functions that it performs it does well. Palm was years ahead of the pack in this market with the Pilot series and evolution to the T5 and the TX. Tempusfugit thinks that the wide spread adoption of the Windows Mobile platform is a retrograde step.
