It LOOKS cool. That's it. Of course it doesn't run Office, or hold customized inventory databases and apps, like my Palm does. And my palm also plays mp3's of course, hundreds of them with my 4GB SD card and pockettunes. But the Palm doesn't look as COOOOL. Yawn. I am so bored with "Apple chic".

It does have some cool features.

If you go to a local MAC store, you can see a demo. One of the things I thought was cool was it's "orientation awareness" when watching a video clip, viewing photos, or using the camera, rotate the device 90o and within seconds the image rotates to right itself.

It will be the only phone with one of these:

And that alone is enough to sell millions of them.
