Blimey looks like this model did not last long. Would be interesting to know if they sold many of this model??

Enough to cover r&d costs? Doesnt sound like it.

I think it was a major flop.

Very little Palm about it really, just a rebadged Asus design so I doubt R&D costs were that great.

It was not an easy product to use without a touchscreen. I think they did a better job with the Centro, and that was cheaper.

Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard, (non touch screen), seemed so basic compared with the Windows Mobile Professional, (touch screen).
