I do think that Dell needs more "skin in the game" β handhelds and smartphones are going to become more ubiquitous as opposed to just selling more computers. With PalmOne (does any else get confused between the hardware company, and PalmSource, the software company?), Dell would get an entry not only into light-weight handhelds but also smartphones with the Treo line.
Evan still remains skeptical of a Dell takeover of PalmOne, but here is his parting comment: "Of course, if this brings the cost of the Treo down and makes it more available: bring it on!"
