A Fortune Magazine article looks at hand-held computing's most beleaguered major player and wonders whether it wouldn't be better off hitching its wagon to Google's coat-tails and adopting Android. After shunting aside its own, old-and-creaky OS in favor of Microsoft's it's been hanging its hopes on a long-awaited new Linux-based OS. Android may be Palm's best bet to avoid stemming its inexorable slide into irrelevance.

I don't get it either. With Android, you're required a Google account, and you're required to use GMail and other G-services. We railed against MS-Passport, but when Google tries the same thing, "it's a good thing" for some reason. No thanks. Maemo is likely a far better choice for Palm. Someone has to cater to the non-groupie locked in (i.e. iPhone and Android) crowd.
