. . . and the Treo morphs into the iPhone

If you didn't hear, Palm just sold 25% of itself to a private investment group Elevation Partners, and joining the company is Jon Rubenstein, who was the project leader for the iPod. Over the past few months, Palm has distanced itself from the Windows OS platform and hired Paul Mercer, one of the original designers for the iPod, to develop the next post-Treo generation of products.

And some people have been asking me about the iPhone. Ed Colligan said, "our Palm Treo already has 90 per cent of Apple's iPhone features at a much lower price". I really can't say I argue with that logic.
