Nice - looks like essentially a streamlining of the Treo 700p with bugfixes and an updated formfactor. Price needs to drop, however - this should be more like $200. Palm had better get cracking to compete with the iPhone, as it will likely pull a LOT of Treo users.
@1: While Palm OS does not have protected memory, it is no longer as crashy as it was when the 600/650 came out (much better NVFS support). Meanwhile, any recent Palm uses non-volatile memory and will not lose its data if the battery fails. Hasn't been an issue in years.
