Ambient is a bunch of liars who abandon their customers anyhow. Remember the Ambient Dashboard? I wouldn't either, except that I bought one with the promise that there would be a developer kit coming within a couple of months (this was oh, about a YEAR ago) that would let my dashboard display the information that I really wanted to see.

They don't answer emails about it... they're just content to let their products die, and act like they don't exist. There are quite a few of us out here still waiting for the dev kit to arrive... what have we gotten in return? The Ambient Dashboard has been deleted from their site, like it never existed. At least have the balls to tell your customers that hey, you just don't care about keeping your word! Ambient, you will never see another red cent of my money. Liars!

Ed Colligan, you're an idiot. You can hardly afford to be a smug bastard seeing how Palm has basically been dead in the water since the Treo 300/600 line. Those were the last great devices from Palm, and hey, wait... they were from that little company you had that actually made good devices, Handspring. I was actually excited when you became CEO of Palm, because I thought some of that great Handspring magic would have worked its way into the Palm line, but no...everything from you guys since then has been evolutionary garbage bolted onto an old OS that can barely support its own weight, much less robust applications.

I've been a Palm OS user for 8 years, (Palm III, Palm V, Palm Vx, Handspring Visor, Visor Edge, Tungsten E, Tungsten T3, Treo 600, Treo 650) and guess what? I bought a Cingular Blackjack the other day and have been introduced to what a real phone can do. I've about had it waiting for your stupid Treo 680 to come out.. wait, you're trying to market the same phone I've had for a year and a half now by taking the antenna off, taking a few MILLIMETERS off, and redesigning the Phone app? Wow, can't wait to throw my money at you for that one. Then you say it's going to come out in a month, and almost 2 months later it still hasn't shown up? No more.

You're systematically screwing over your most loyal customer base, the ones of us who have been here for years, never ever would've thought about leaving the Palm platform, and who are on the largest phone technology in the US, world even... GSM. You're a moron, Ed Colligan, and you deserve everything that is coming to you in the years ahead. You've turned this one-time Palm loyalist into a non-believer. You think Palm users will continue to just take what you're giving them because of loyalty to the platform? Loyalty is earned, and can just as easily be lost. You don't have mine anymore, and I think that's going to be a trend if you don't straighten Palm up.

Don't get me started on the whole merger/sale/name changing stuff that's been going on for the past few years (Palm -> PalmOne/PalmSource -> Palm/Access) and how you've let the Palm OS walk out the door on you. What is your problem?

my favorite is "Everything - The Juliana Theory"

So that's where the Flash intro for the iPhone went!

I'd buy that case for $99 in a heartbeat.

it's my turn to win!

Hmmm.. looks a little like my site, FreshArrival :)

Man, that's blatant, right down to the internal packaging and accessories. Wow.
