>Quite seriously, neither iOS nor Android are even remotely as good at easy, right now interaction and usefulness as Palm was nearly 30 years ago. That is especially true for contact management/phone apps!
I guess I wonder what you think is missing or worse than Palm?
I don't have any experience with Android, but on iOS I don't miss ANYTHING -- I find the always-on OTA sync ALONE to be an enormous advantage. The device is fast, responsive, and just-works in a way that nothing did 20 years ago. Palm desktop sync was good for 1999, but it still had issues that came up (esp if you depended on Outlook) that I have never seen with iOS OTA sync.
