I tend to (or choose to) believe that Palm are putting software enhance-
ments on hold, making Palm OS evolve very merely. The reason: the
kernel/OS migration. There is not much point in improving existing options
and implementing features from the wishlist if another O/S is built in
parallel. I am hoping that they will come up with something extraordinary
rather soon... they haven't released anything exciting or revolutionary
for a long, long while. That gigantic LifeDrive seems like a step back to
me.
