Back in the day when Palm was king of the hill the knock on the devices was that, although the OS was good, the hardware sucked.  This is what allowed the BlackBerry to knock Palm off their pedestal as RIM put out devices with both a stable OS and and a stable operating system and stable hardware.

It looks like Palm still hasn’t figured the hardware thing out yet.

I hope that history doesn’t repeat itself…  I am actually pulling for Palm.
