Personally I'm not into the stylus method for a user interface, as a data input device it's fine. Don't let that confuse you tho, I love to touch. I know that you can touch the screens of Treo's but the OS really was built around the notion that you use that blasted pen instrument. This is why I'm highly interested in the Nokia Internet Tablet, as well as tablet PC's in general. After having my E61 however, I can tell you this, I won't be buying another smartphone unless it has wifi.

Their popular Ming smartphone is Linux, as it the just released SCPL (successor to the RAZR). But like you, Stefan, I'm most looking forward to seeing a next-generation version of the Palm OS running on a Linux kernel. While the ACCESS Linux Platform is the presumed successor and looks very promising from what I saw at LinuxWorld in August, there's also another possible contender for the Palm OS on Linux crown: Palm themselves. See: <a href="http://www.pikesoft.com/blog/index.php?itemid=105" rel="nofollow">http://www.pikesoft.com/blog/index.php?itemid=105</a> and <a href="http://www.pikesoft.com/blog/index.php?itemid=60" rel="nofollow">http://www.pikesoft.com/blog/index.php?itemid=60</a> Then let me know what you think!

That reason must be either a better user experience or reduced cost. What I’m saying is anything is better than that OS, and there is a reason Motorola is switching to Linux.

I don't see how this has anything to do with mobile linux, considering RAZR uses the motorola proprietary "P2K" OS(new razr line will probably include linux though). “You know if I had to live with a mobile that contained the same operating system as my friends Motorola RAZR I would go batshit insane.”
