The Register has a great story that not only mentions what Palm is up to, but how much market share they lost by letting Handspring into the PDA world.

‘Palm today announced its rumoured m100 consumer-oriented palmtop designed to regain the retail lead taken from it by PalmOS-licensee Handspring.

The company also unveiled an updated version of its Palm VII wireless-enabled organiser, the VIIx.

The m100 - Palm’s first to break its roman-numeral naming scheme - is aimed squarely at Handspring’s Visor. Handspring was founded by Palm’s own founders after leaving the company a couple of years back. Handspring released Visor last year, but since the PDA’s retail debut in April, it has gone on to take over 25 per cent of the US retail PDA market.’
