Well, Palm has been going downhill for a *LONG* time, especially after having split their software and hardware divisions into PalmOne and PalmSource. (One of them recently went back to plain old "Palm" but darned if I can remember which one.) Palm has been struggling trying to stay with their "simple first" philosophy without losing out to the high-powered abilities that high-end users want like playing movies and high-powered games. Well, they may have finally lost out. According to several articles, the new Treo 670 will be running Windows Mobile OS.
Personally, the only Palmish thing I miss on my non-Palm T-Mobile Sidekick which I use as phone and PDA is the Bible software I could load and carry anywhere. But it is still sad to see the market contracting violently like this, especially since it gives Microsoft another monopoly foothold. Here is hoping that alternative devices like the Sidekick continue to fill the void that Palm refuses (or is unable) to fill.
