You could be right and palm could be providing a desktop solution - but I just don't see how anyone comes to those conclusions from the information provided by palm or by *any* interview given by a palm staffer since CES. Could that change? yes it could, but I've seen nothing to support such a change, indeed every interview only seems to provide another link in the chain.
I just don't see how I am trying to invalidate your concerns if I take the position that palm aren't going to do anything. That's not me saying that I don't think those are logical and valid concerns for legacy users to care about, I'm saying that I just don't think Palm cares which implies nothing about the concerns of the legacy user community.
I always start from the position of "what is the commerical reason to do X", when I make a guess (and that's all they all), it's using that perspective as a starting point - and that leads me to the conclusion that legacy users are being left out in the cold in regards to their specific needs. I could be 100% wrong but there is no point me saying "I'm sure that palm will come up with something" because I simply don't believe that to be the case. I don't make any value judgement about if those concerns are valid/invalid whining/ non-whining - because I just don't care, it's of no interest to me.
It's not a guess when you say it definitively and repeatedly.
It is a judgement when you say that we just can't accept that the loyalty between us and Palm only goes in one direction.
And finally, it really doesn't fly when you claim how much you could give a ----, yet there you are, in thread after thread and post after post, typing away like the rest of us geeks.
But in the end, I don't say that you hold X position simply because you can't accept this or that. I don't make calls about your motivations because it's unnecessary and unhelpful. You can't truthfully say the same.
Now, I'm done with chatting about the chat, for now. Obviously, you can agree or disagree, but I don't want to derail the thread any further, at this time, so now that I've said what I have to say, I'm gonna try my damndest to shut up.
