The Zire, huh? Okay... it's a new Palm; it does all the things Palms have always done. Except now it's 4.4 x 2.9 x 0.6 inches, and it's white. (Where have we seen this before?)
Okay, okay... I'll stop. But on a different note of curiosity, I'm wondering what makes this one different from all the other Palms that have come out recently. Don't they all have the same software, the same functionality...? With the exception of some that have wireless Internet and some that have modular docking bays, what makes this one different aside from just being smaller and whiter cheaper and ... well, more iPod-like?
I hope Palm knows what it's doing, because they seem to have lost hold of their vision somewhat. I'm all for doing it right the first time and then not changing a winning formula. But they'd better come up with something groundbreaking before too much longer, instead of just packaging the same thing more attractively-- or else they're going to become a relic.
