作者以過去是PALM OS的使用者，針對TREO系統要出在Windows Mobile 5上所寫的一篇短文。
其中說到Palm CEO的一段話
As the only significant licensee of Palm OS, Palm was widely expected to buy back the software business -- and it tried. But major U.S. and European handset makers jumped into the bidding and drove the price sky-high. "There was a point beyond which we didn't think it made sense," Palm CEO Ed Colligan wrote in an e-mail to Palm employees that was obtained by BusinessWeek. After Palm withdrew, Japanese software maker Access, which supplies Web browser technology for the Treo, came up with the winning bid: $324 million in cash, an 83% premium over the market share price.
