I've owned more than a few Palm-based organizers, but they have a tendency to break very frequently. In fact I've got a stack of old and dismembered Palms here in my office.
My latest Palm, a Z22 that I received from Palm after they admitted to making manufacturing flaw in the old m125 models, has just gone into "touch screen not working mode." To crack the case I need my Torx T5 driver, and I can't find it anywhere.
At this point I have two ambitions: leave the buggy, proprietary world of Palm behind as soon as I can figure out how to convert my data into some decent format; and move to a more open platform. The Android will be expensive but I suspect that it will work.
And yes, indeed, today I am paying for violating the principles of disaggregation: I should have moved to standards-based open platform before my Palm gave up the ghost!
