Palm switches to Windows

Quite the turn around when Palm starts shipping phones with Windows. Palm has been mismanaged for years and stopped innovating a long time ago. At some point it was split into two companies, one of which made the operating system and one which made the hardware. Palm didn’t come up with anything useful and new to utilize the capabilities of new hardware, meanwhile Microsoft threw gobs of time and money at another market they felt the need to dominate, and succeeded. I’ve played a bit with Windows CE (Pocket PC?) devices, and just have not seen any appeal at all in running a Windows environment on a tiny screen.
