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.

same here. the Garnet VM is a staple of my Maemo installs. I just wish Access would bridge the bluetooth the way they bridged the wireless networking. A few bluetooth tools keep my T5 in my toolkit instead of out on EBay for someone who can find use of all the device functions.

It was simple, easy to use, relatively stable, and had a lot of software available for it.
I still emulate PalmOS on my Nokia 770 via the Garnet VM and use that emulation for several things (calculators, budgeting, and of course games), and my most used PDA is still my trusty old Palm m105 running PalmOS 3.52. It does what I want in a PDA. I already have cameras, music players, phones, and web tablets for all of that other functionality. In a pinch, though, I can still surf the web with Xiino if I have access to a phone line. :-)
