And a Palm has a usable keyboard - ask anyone who had a Graffiti-based one and you'll find out why a tactile keyboard is needed on a phone (e.g., unless the iPhone also levitates and its screen morphs with button depressessions, one-handed dialing will require feats of blind prestidigitation). I have a Palm 650 and a new iPod video with 80GB. It takes 20GB for my music collection (not that large), and each video is 1-1.5GB. The new phone wouldn't hold a small fraction of my music together with a *single* video. I wouldn't swap the pair for this integrated gizmo even for free. Two swings and two misses, IMO. FWIW, iPhone was a product of InfoGear in 1999 (acquired by Cisco) http://www.streettech.com/archives_gadget/iPhone.html and isalso the name of a current voice-over-IP service iphone.com - interesting copyright lawsuits are sure to follow.
