Is Linux Palm's savior?
Is Linux Palm's savior? That's a reassuring no. Nothing can save these two failures even when they merge together. Most people could care less what is running on their handheld, they want the functionality. Palm used to be the leader, but not no more. Linux and functionality, might as well forget about that one. Besides, handhelds are a dying market anyway, Palm would be silly wasting their time with this.
