[Leica] Psion - was "The worst insult..."

Hi Didier,

Palm recently released the Treo 700 with a choice of Palm or Windows 
software.  It is slightly thinner than previous generations, but uses 
the same accessories, batteries, etc. as the 600 and 650 (which I own). 
  My understanding is that the Palm software is being phased-out;  this 
may be its last gasp.  Apparently it is a victim of corporate Info Tech 
people who have declared Microsoft to be  the Holy Grail for business 
use.  I find the Palm software works just fine, synching with my MS 
Outlook at work and able to pull down Word documents.  It also 
navigates easier and is more intuitive.
