Pocket Office is about a quarter compatible with Microsoft Office.

[Despite the updated version of its software, some analysts see Merlin as a later edition of Microsoft's past attempts at the pocket PC market, which is regarded as a shrunken version of its Windows operating system.] I thought there should have been more, ... It's not a whole lot different than before.

Needs to keep on top of the handheld and smart phone phenomenon because we clearly don't know where it's going yet.

I see a convergence of desktop and notebook (capabilities). I've heard Kodak, Boeing, and Intel all say they are committing to a move to 100 percent notebook computer use in the next few years.

It's something Palm had to do because they were losing credibility in the enterprise, and the only player that would give them credibility there is IBM.

Everybody needs a notebook or desktop that's fully compatible.

No private company can get access to that bandwidth unless they spend a lot or resort to a satellite network.

The real story is smart phones.

We'll also see the emergence of truly legacy-free notebooks.
