"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin..."

Business 2.0 has a really interesting article on Palm and how they might be able to rebound from their bungles of the last three years. While I agree that OS 5 will be an interesting stop-gap on the way to an OS that might rival the Pocket PC in OS 6, Palm needs better designs, and fast. They can't keep riding on the Palm V design forever (one of the last models spearheaded by Jeff Hawkins before his departure). The Oslo is an interesting design, and I hope Palm has more of the same up their sleeve. Current Palm designs are "old and busted" compared to Sony's ever-changing "new hotness."
