It is highly cost effective compared with the pricey i.Phone, and I have spare cash to buy another standby phone including 2 spare new batteries for the Palm and standby phone.
I am happy with my choice, and believe my next purchase is going to be another Palm with Windows Mobile or Google Android or Linux or Palm OS (with at least 3.5G and WiFi).

A lot have to do with personal preference and usage patterns. There is no point in having several hundreds of applications when the ordinary man in the street just require a suite of frequently ran applications. More programs for me assure more problems and data corruption including viruses, malware, system hang, trojan horses, compatibility issues etc. My philosophy is :: Simplify your life, smell the roses.

This is not necessarily so. Please do a study of the most recent greatest stockmarket meltdown in developed countries. The fall of the Great Samurai, and please check where the Nikkei Index is hovering at today.
I still remember this book - Japan as Number One, but not its author. It was quoted the Japan at that time was close to or already had out surpass the USA in many fields and industries, including computer technology and artificial intelligence.
My strategy would likely be based on fundamentals of supply and demand, and the law of cycles.
