What decided me was not only price (it cost less than the equivalent PocketPC), but that it had a mature operating system and oodles an oodles of applications that had been around for a long time. To my mind that meant there weren't likely to be ugly surprises yet to be discovered with it. It can do almost everything that a Blackberry or iPhone can except make phone calls. This last thing doesn't bother me the least, since I prefer my phone to just be a phone. I've never regretted my purchase, and have never not once eyed up a Blackberry or an iPhone and considered dumping my Palm. The Palm OS may not be very slick looking, but it functions perfectly for me.

The all features in one package was the ultimate goal and Palm did it first. True that they lost a huge lead to Apple and Blackberry but this post is encouraging. The mass market is not stupid after all! I love my Treo 680 and I had a palm pilot 5000 back in 96.
