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 really loved the Newton. But I'd still rather have an iPhone today.

iPhone is not the best hardware for my own needs. I do miss my Newton 2001 though. I've yet to find a replacement for the text/task pad on any other platform though some choices come close.
