I'm still baffled at the Palm Treo's lack of success. Starting with the 650, roughly the time that blackberry was taking off, it offered a very configurable mobile OS that worked with all kinds of mail clients without requiring any sort of proprietary Enterprise Server. It also added a touch screen, comparable keyboard (dare I say more navigable than the beloved wheel), removable storage, camera, and, best of all, a web App Store that would send links for the apps to your phone via text (some free. Some paid).


Does the book mention Palm at all?

When I bought my first BB, the Curve 8310, the sales woman told me not to get what I came in for that day, the treo.

Treo ran on Windows Mobile OS. Froze up alot and started getting a bad rep at that time.
